A Bloomfield woman will plead guilty this week for her role in the U.S. Capitol riot after appealing to the court that she has learned from her participation from movies and books such as "Schindler's List" and "Just Mercy."
Anna Morgan-Lloyd has agreed to plead guilty to one of her pending federal charges in the Jan. 6 insurrection in exchange for three years probation, $500 in restitution and community service.
The 49-year-old attended what initially began as a rally with her friend Dona Sue Bissey also federally charged in the riot. Bissey, whose case is still pending, is scheduled to appear in court July 19.
In a letter to the judge, Morgan-Lloyd apologized for entering the U.S. Capitol and said she feels ashamed about how the march that day turned violent. She attached movie and book reports to her letter, summarizing Schindlers List and Just Mercy. Her attorney recommended them, she said, to learn what life is like for others in our country.

(6,265 posts)yet, what I've grown to expect. 2 systems of justice in America based on...well I know based on what. This will never change. Entitlement and privilege bring their own protection(s). And being a trumper, she gives less than a damn about any POC not kissing trump rancid ass like Carson, Omarosa, the one that died of covid after one of trump's MASKLESS rallies during the pandemic. What's his name...Cain. Trump slew Cain.

(43,123 posts)Would like to see prison time, even a token 60 days, and fines in at least 4 figures. This is a slap on the wrist penalty, as if for insurrectioning while intoxicated.
Are book reports the new leniency?
I wrote a book report in 6th grade

(8,329 posts)1/6 was quite literally one of the worst days of my life. As I sit in the rain staring at the US Capitol, I am stunned that a fucking book and movie report is the punishment for taking part in as armed insurrection. People died, peoples lives have been changed, hundreds were injured, thousands are suffering PTSD, have nightmares, go to work worried for their safety and the viability of our democracy. The punishment for being part of this is a book report, a 500 dollar fine and a be good ..fuck this shit. This is just unfucking real.

The majority of bullies laughed about it. Said what they had to say, wrote what they had to write, then went right back to being assholes.

I doubt we'll see much jail time (if any) for others with these kind of charges and no prior criminal history.

More likely she is claiming her now husband's previous children's kids as her own for sympathy.
