‘Helmet boy’ Capitol insurrectionist demands plea deal in ‘off the rails’ hearing: ‘Can I get an offer?’
The Capitol insurrectionist who became known as “helmet boy” — after being captured on video using a riot helmet to smash a window to the Speaker’s Lobby during the Jan. 6 riot — demanded a plea bargain from prosecutors during an “off the rails” court appearance on Wednesday.
Alam’s outburst reportedly started before the judge even arrived for the hearing, when he yelled, “I will represent myself!” at attorneys and clerks.
After the judge later advised Alam to stop talking and repeatedly warned him against representing himself, he responded, “I don’t take your advice,” as his attorney attempted in vain to delay the hearing.
“(The prosecutor) will not be able to convince jury that i possessed dangerous weapon on January 6. I can prove that,” Alam said. “I want (the prosecutor) to offer me a deal right now. … She needs to start doing her job and offer me a deal.”
After the judge explained that prosecutors are not required to offer a plea bargain, the prosecutor said, “There has not been a plea offer, but I’m happy to start that process.”
“Consider it requested now!” Alam interjected.
The judge ultimately delayed the hearing until later this summer, and Alam returned to jail.
He has been in custody since February, after being arrested when a family member tipped off authorities.
Now, all of a sudden, they’re begging their people to get vaccinated.
Either they realize it’s killing their voters, or, I heard, trump signed a bill that allows lawsuits against organizations that propagate false information about Covid, and they’re all liable.
