Judge Denies QAnon Shaman's Plea to Reverse Jan. 6 Conviction

A federal judge has rejected Jacob Chansley's bid to throw out his conviction for his role in the January 6 Capitol attack. Chansley, also known as the "QAnon shaman," had cited videos aired by Tucker Carlson as evidence. However, the judge ruled that the videos lacked meaningful context and did not change the evidence of Chansley's crimes. The judge also stated that if Chansley were sentenced today, he might receive a lengthier prison term than the 41 months he originally received. The judge criticized Carlson for his misrepresentations of the events and questioned the integrity of the U.S. criminal justice system.
