Richard \u201cBigo\u201d Barnett was convicted on eight counts, including obstructing an official proceeding and carrying a dangerous weapon in a restricted building.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Federal prosecutors asking for seven years prison time and three years of supervised release, Barnett was sentenced to four and a half years in prison along with three years of supervised release.<\/p>\n<p>The Capitol protest happened on the day that Congress had convened to certify President Joe Biden\u2019s victory. Barnett claimed he was looking for a bathroom inside the Capitol when he accidentally entered Pelosi\u2019s office to find two photographers. He claimed that one of the photographers instructed him to \u201cact natural\u201d prompting him to sit in her chair and kick his feet up on the desk. Prosecutors stated that Barnett was armed with a stun gun at the time he entered Pelosi\u2019s office. While in the office, prosecutors said that Barnett took some of Pelosi\u2019s mail and left a note saying, \u201cNancy, Bigo was here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe took back our house, and I took Nancy Pelosi\u2019s office,\u201d Barnett said, according to prosecutors, when he gave a speech to the crowd outside the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>Barnett claimed at his sentencing hearing that he \u201cwasn\u2019t treated fairly,\u201d and that \u201cthey want me to be remorseful for things I did not do.\u201d According to Jonathan Gross, Barnett\u2019s defense attorney, \u201cThe government was mad because Richard Barnett was sitting at a desk.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThe worst accusations against Mr. Barnett amounted to 20 minutes of nonviolence in the Capitol, a stolen envelope, and literally seconds of verbal altercation with a police officer,\u201d his defense attorneys wrote. \u201cMr. Barnett never called for violence. Never called for insurrection. He was mad, but even in his anger his rhetoric was restrained and he never called for actual violence, not on January 6 and not for any time in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Barnett said that he adamantly regretted traveling to Washington and putting his feet on Pelosi\u2019s desk, when he testified in his own defense at the trial.<\/p>\n<h3>Stay Informed!<\/h3>\n<p>Receive breaking news blasts directly to your inbox for free.
