'QAnon Shaman' blames former lawyer for mishandling Jan. 6 videos.
Jacob Chansley, also known as the "QAnon shaman," is requesting to be resentenced for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection, claiming his former lawyer provided "ineffective assistance" by failing to investigate video footage that could have supported his defense. Chansley's new attorney filed a motion arguing that his previous lawyer should have postponed his sentencing to obtain all video evidence of Chansley from inside the Capitol. The motion suggests that the video footage undermines prosecutors' claims that Chansley intended violence when he entered the Capitol. Chansley pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding and was sentenced to almost three-and-a-half years in prison.
