Supporters of President Donald Trump storm the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump has pardoned or commuted the sentences of defendants charged in the attack, including a number from the Pacific Northwest.

A federal jury in the District of Columbia was set to start deliberating Jan. 21 after Bend resident Jared Lane Wise’s nine-day trial wrapped up last week on civil disorder and five other charges in the Jan. 6 takeover of the U.S. Capitol.

Instead, the prosecutor and Wise’s public defender moved to dismiss the indictment, citing President Donald Trump’s executive order pardoning or commuting the sentences of defendants in the Jan. 6 attack, as well as dismissing “all pending indictments” against others stemming from the takeover. Trump issued the executive order Monday, shortly after he was sworn in as the nation’s 47th president.

Prosecutors had argued that Wise, an ex-FBI agent, helped rioters who “engaged in a scrum with law enforcement” on the Upper West Terrace on the Capitol grounds, screaming, “Yeah, (expletive) them! Yeah, kill’ em!” while pointing at a police line. He continued to scream, “Kill ‘em! Kill ‘em! Kill ‘em!” to the rioters who assaulted officers in the line, according to a federal affidavit.

Wise also was accused of refusing to leave a restricted area, yelling at police and directing others to engage with officers, according to court records. Video showed he had earlier entered the Capitol through the Senate wing door, “clapped and raised his arms in triumph,” walked through the crypt underneath the rotunda and then exited out a window, the affidavit said.

Wise had lived in Texas until late June 2022, when he moved to Bend, the records show. A tipster in January 2022 alerted the FBI to Wise’s presence at the Capitol, according to court records. Wise previously worked as a special agent and supervisory special agent with the FBI but left the bureau in 2017. He took the stand at his trial, and said he believed that police were using unnecessary and potentially dangerous force on rioters.

Wise remained out of custody during the trial. Closing statements and jury instructions in his trial had ended around 5:30 p.m. Friday.

“He’s a wonderful person and I’m very glad that he got the case dismissed with prejudice,” Wise’s lawyer, Kurt D. Hermansen, said Tuesday from Washington, D.C. Hermansen is a supervisory assistant federal public defender based in Eugene.

Wise is among more than a dozen people prosecuted from the Pacific Northwest and now benefitting from Trump’s order.

Some were serving sentences in prison. Some had already served their sentences and one was sentenced last week. One was set to be sentenced Wednesday.

“We don’t have all the signed documents yet, but, yes, everyone should be released from custody,” said Fidel Cassino-DuCloux, Oregon’s federal public defender.

Pardons forgive the crimes and remove restrictions on the right to vote, own a gun, hold state or local office, or sit on a jury. People still in prison get released. But pardons don’t remove the conviction from a defendant’s record.

A commutation reduces a sentence, totally or partially. It doesn’t eliminate a conviction or the consequences of a conviction.

All of these Pacific Northwest defendants received pardons.

All those in the custody of the federal Bureau of Prisons related to Jan. 6, 2021 prosecutions were being released. Those sentenced and in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service are also being released, unless they’re charged in other unrelated cases, according to Daniel Ball, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Justice. The department is filing motions to throw out and dismiss other pending cases, he said.

Here are the cases involving people from Oregon and Washington:

• Marc Anthony Bru, 44, of Vancouver was sentenced to six years in prison and three years of supervised release and ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution. He was found guilty in a 2023 bench trial of two felonies, obstruction of an official proceeding and civil disorder, and five misdemeanors. Bru flew from Portland to Washington, D.C, a day before then-President Donald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally near the White House. Before Trump’s speech, he joined dozens of other Proud Boys in marching to the Capitol and was one of the first rioters to breach a restricted area near Peace Circle. Bru grabbed a barricade and shoved it against police officers. He later joined other rioters inside the Capitol and entered the Senate gallery, where he flashed a hand gesture associated with the Proud Boys as he posed for selfies.

• Reed Knox Christensen, 66, of Hillsboro was sentenced last year to three years and 10 months in prison and three years of supervised release and ordered to pay $22,000 in restitution. He was convicted of one felony and seven misdemeanors after a jury trial in 2023. The convictions included civil disorder and assaulting, resisting or impeding officers.

• Jeremy Grace, 40, of Battle Ground was sentenced in 2022 to 21 days in prison and supervised release. He pleaded guilty to entering and remaining in a restricted building, a misdemeanor, for his role in the riot.

• Jeffrey Grace, 65, of Battle Ground was sentenced in 2023 to 75 days in prison for his role in the Capitol attack. He pleaded guilty to one charge of entering and remaining in a restricted building. He’s the father of Jeremy Grace.

• Richard L. Harris, 43, of Happy Valley was sentenced in October to three years and five months in prison and three years of supervised release. He was convicted of five felonies and six misdemeanors following a bench trial. In a selfie video, he was on camera proclaiming, “They tear gassed us. Front f— line baby. We’re storming the Capitol,” according to court records. The convictions included obstruction of an official proceeding, civil disorder and assaulting, resisting or impeding officers.

• Jeffrey Hubbard, 49, of Lincoln City was sentenced in 2023 to 45 days in prison after he pleaded guilty to one count of parading, demonstrating or picketing in the Capitol building. He spent a total of 54 minutes inside the Capitol, according to prosecutors.

• Jonathanpeter Allen Klein, 25, of Pendleton was sentenced in December to nine months in prison and three years of supervised release. He was ordered to pay $3,000 in restitution. Klein pleaded guilty to one count of civil disorder and one count of assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers.

• His brother, Matthew Leland Klein, 28, of Pendleton, was sentenced to 90 days in prison and three years of supervised release. He pleaded guilty to civil disorder and entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds.

• David Medina, 35, of Sherwood is accused of trying to destroy a wooden nameplate outside the office of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the Capitol. Medina has pleaded not guilty to obstructing an official proceeding, a felony, and several misdemeanors, including destruction of government property and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building. He was arrested last July. His defense lawyer argued in court papers that another person removed the sign and Medina was later seen holding a piece of the broken sign. His defense lawyer objected to a release condition that Medina be barred from possessing guns, but a judge left the condition in place, according to court records. A prosecutor cited text messages Medina shared with others prior to Jan. 6, 2021, in which he “contemplated large-scale violence,” including “war,” “Civil War,” and “dying for his beliefs.”

• Andy Steven Oliva-Lopez, 27, of Milwaukie pleaded guilty last year to assaulting, resisting or impeding officers. He was sentenced Friday to four years and three months in prison. He drove from his home in Oregon with a friend to attend the “Stop the Steal” rally on the National Mall and afterward walked toward the Capitol. Oliva-Lopez, wearing a full-face respirator mask, sprayed streams of orange-colored bear spray at the faces and heads of police officers on the West Plaza before entering the Capitol, according to prosecutors.

• Lilith Anton Saer, 33, of Portland pleaded guilty to one count of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building and was sentenced in 2023 to three years of probation and ordered to complete 200 hours of in-person community service within two years.

• Benjamin John Silva, 37, of Yacolt was sentenced last year to four months in prison and two years of supervised release to include four months of home incarceration. He was ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution. He pleaded guilty to obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder.

• Ryan Wilson, 42, of Athena had his sentencing postponed until this Wednesday. On Tuesday, a prosecutor filed a motion to dismiss the indictment with prejudice, citing Trump’s order. After a bench trial, he was found guilty in October of six felonies, including civil disorder and assaulting, resisting or impeding officers, as well as misdemeanor offenses including disorderly conduct in a Capitol building.

• Kristina Malimon, 30, of Carrollton, Texas, was convicted in a 2022 bench trial of unlawful entry onto public property and sentenced to one year of probation. She also was ordered to pay $500 in fines and complete 100 hours of community service. She had been a vice chair of Oregon Young Republicans and previously lived in Portland. There were no allegations that she entered the Capitol, but she was arrested on Jan. 6, 2021, accused of not leaving the Peace Circle monument on the east side of the National Mall after the mayor had instituted a curfew.
