PIERRE, S.D. – South Dakota state lawmakers on the House State Affairs committee unanimously Rejected a resolution Wednesday morning which would have “encouraged the humane and fair treatment of January 6th defendants.”
The resolution was brought by State Rep. Phil Jensen (R-Rapid City), who argued that supporting the resolution was about protecting freedom and liberty.
Treviss Evans, who founded the group “Condemned USA,” an advocacy group providing legal assistance to January 6th defendants, testified in favor of the bill. Evans himself is a January 6th defendant, who was in the United States Capitol that day, and was in there for “roughly twelve minutes.” Evans says he spent much of that time helping the police.
