“QAnon Shaman” To Appeal His 41-Month Sentence

The Daily Beast reports:

John Pierce, the MAGA-sympathizing and anti-vaccination attorney, has confirmed that he and his co-counsel will file a motion on behalf of the infamous QAnon Shaman. Pierce’s motion will claim ineffective assistance of co-counsel by Jacob Chansley’s previous lawyer, Albert Watkins, and attempt to appeal Chansley’s sentence. Chansley was sentenced to more than three years in prison on Nov. 17, marking one of the harshest verdicts for a Jan. 6 rioter yet imposed.

Read the full article. Pierce was once Rittenhouse’s lawyer, but withdrew from the case last December amid ethical complaints. Back in August, he was reportedly on a ventilator for something, which he later denied.
