Capitol rioter David Lee Judd apparently believes he’s being railroaded because those Antifa kids in Portland got off easy compared to him, per a defense motion filed in the DC Circuit Court where Judd is facing charges assaulting police officers during the insurrection – throwing a lit firecracker at cops among them. Last week his attorney filed a “Motion to Compel Discovery in Support of Mr. Judd’s Claim of Selective Prosecution“, a maneuver chock full of bullshit MAGA whataboutery:
“The discriminatory effects in this case are the outcomes: protestors supporting left-leaning causes in Portland assaulted officers in the attempted breach of a federal building and in D.C. assaulted officers directly in an anti-police protest. Mr. Judd was at a protest associated with right-leaning causes and support of President Trump and is alleged to have assaulted officers in the attempted breach of a federal building. At least 25 similarly situated defendants in Portland and the D.C. Fireworks Defendant had their charges dismissed, whereas Mr. Judd – who caused no injury and who has no history of violence and is in criminal history category I – received a plea offer that would result in estimated sentencing guidelines of 46 to 57 months. The disparity in outcomes is sufficient that the government must turn over the targeted discovery specified in Section III. Mr. Judd’s request is not a fishing expedition, and he recommends in camera review by the Court where work product of open prosecutions is involved”
