Summary

Emily Hernandez, a Trump-pardoned Jan. 6 Capitol rioter, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for a 2022 drunk driving crash that killed Victoria Wilson and seriously injured her husband in Missouri.

Hernandez was driving on the wrong side of the highway at twice the legal alcohol limit.

She had previously served 45 days for stealing part of Nancy Pelosi’s office sign.

Her case adds to concerns over Trump’s pardons, as other pardoned rioters have faced new legal troubles.

    From your article:

    Houston criminal court records show that case was unresolved when Taake – out on $20,000 bail – participated in the attack on the US Capitol. According to the Chronicle, local prosecutors confirmed Friday that Taake was now considered a wanted fugitive in connection with the pending charge of solicitation of a minor. But Houston jail records showed he was not in custody as of three days later.

    Attempts to contact Taake were not immediately successful. And his attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    So I guess he did get out? And now he’s a fugitive… Why didn’t they check this shit before they let him out?

    Edit: clarity.
