Next, Williams is scheduled to appear virtually in a Virginia federal court on Monday.
A court order signed Tuesday by U.S. Magistrate Judge Martin Carlson detailed the conditions of Williams release from Dauphin County Prison: She must remain in the custody of her mother and submit to location monitoring. She also must forfeit her passport and is under home detention, meaning she cannot leave the residence for any reason other than school, work, medical appointments, religious services or trial-related travel. The gravity of these offenses is great, Carlson told Williams. It cannot be overstated.
Williams reportedly could be sentenced to 20 years in prison if convicted.

“The gravity of these offenses is great,” Carlson told Williams. “It cannot be overstated.”
Williams, 22, of Harrisburg, is accused of theft, obstruction and trespassing, as well as violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. Carlson noted Williams has no prior criminal record.

And all that may mean putting Donald Trump in the rear view mirror as quickly as possible.
State GOP chair Jessica Millan Patterson for weeks has tweeted and issued statements about Newsom and his failures. But Trump’s name has never been uttered, his failings including pushing conspiracies of election fraud never addressed, and reporters’ questions on those key party issues unanswered. The party’s official line has been to decry the violent breaching of the U.S. Capitol, but to do so while omitting Trump and his role from the discussion.
