Date of proceedings: July 1, 2026 (Wednesday). O’Connor’s courtroom (2nd floor) opened ~8:22–8:33 a.m.; Pittman’s courtroom ran the same morning (start time not captured).
Court: U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas — Fort Worth Division
Case: United States v. Hill et al. (caption to confirm). One case number captured in O’Connor’s room: 425-CR-259 (rendered “425 CR 259” / “425-CR259” across note-takers).
Judges: Sentencing again ran in two courtrooms simultaneously —
- Judge Reed O’Connor: Ines Soto, Joy “Rowan” Gibson, Rebecca Morgan
- Judge Mark Pittman: Lynette Sharp, John Thomas, Seth Sikes, Nathan Bauman
Parties present: Federal prosecutors (“A. Gato”/”Gatto” [phonetic] noted in O’Connor’s room; “Danielson” and “Shawn Smith” noted in Pittman’s room — roles partly uncertain, see flags); defense counsel per defendant (see below); defendants’ families and supporters (seating and conduct tightly restricted — see Incidents).
Type of proceeding: Federal criminal sentencing (post-conviction). This is a continuation of the June 23, 2026 sentencing of the eight defendants who stood trial; aside from Ines, the defendants sentenced today entered guilty pleas (before Magistrate Judge Cureton), with Rowan and Rebecca as NON-cooperating defendants.
Key Takeaways
- Sentences imposed (figures reconciled across note-takers):
- Ines Soto — 600 months (50 years). Counts 1–4 at 60 / 180 / 240 / 120 months, run consecutively to each other but concurrently with any Johnson County (JoCo) sentence. (O’Connor)
- Joy “Rowan” Gibson — 180 months (15 years). Concurrent with the JoCo case. (O’Connor)
- Rebecca Morgan — 180 months (15 years). Concurrent with future JoCo charges. (O’Connor)
- Lynette Sharp — 110 months. Concurrent with any future JoCo sentence, but consecutive to two other cases. (Pittman)
- John Thomas — 110 months. (Pittman)
- Seth Sikes — 72 months. Concurrent with a Johnson County case. (Pittman)
- Nathan Bauman — 22 months. Concurrent with Johnson County charges. (Pittman)
- Downward variances granted for all four Pittman-courtroom defendants, who pleaded guilty and (per counsel) cooperated with the government. Pittman explicitly declined to apply the sentencing guidelines to Bauman.
- Post-trial motions in O’Connor’s room denied. For Ines Soto, O’Connor denied the motions for a new trial and for acquittal and granted forfeiture of all listed items.
- Each defendant advised of a 14-day deadline to file notice of appeal. (One note-taker recorded “10 days” for Sharp — likely a mis-hearing; see flag.) Several (cooperating?) defendants waived appeal but reserved the right to challenge whether their plea was voluntary or whether the court miscalculated the sentence.
- A single shared restitution obligation of roughly $4,408.95 to the Prairieland ICE Detention Center, payable jointly with co-defendants, recurs across the cases (note-takers recorded $4,408.90 / $4,408.95 / $4,408.98 / ~$4,000). Sharp was ordered to pay no restitution.
- Both judges again invoked deterrence. O’Connor stated that “engaging in terrorism is an assault on democratic processes” and that violent plans “should occur through the political process”; Pittman condemned threats to “dox or harass… or kill the judge.”
Narrative summary
Seven defendants were sentenced the same morning in two separate courtrooms, continuing the sentencing that began June 23. Aside from Ines Soto, all seven had pleaded guilty before Magistrate Judge Cureton. The accounts below combine multiple note-takers per room.
Judge O’Connor’s courtroom (Ines Soto, Gibson, Morgan)
Ines Soto — 600 months (50 years). (Case 425-CR-259.) O’Connor overruled the defense objections; the probation office’s total offense level was 43, criminal history category 6. Defense counsel (A. Davis) opened with a technical clarification of the counts.
- Forfeiture. The government (prosecutor A.Gatto) sought forfeiture of all listed assets, arguing that the federal terrorism forfeiture statute — recorded by one note-taker as “18 USC 91” [phonetic; likely 18 U.S.C. § 981] — carries “no nexus requirement,” while noting the government “had not gone after all assets.” Defense argued the forfeiture motion was filed extremely late (about two weeks before sentencing), that items were recovered from the Soto residence after the fact “with no connection to the alleged offense,” and that many were First Amendment-protected. O’Connor approved the forfeiture.
- Motions denied. O’Connor denied the motions for a new trial and for acquittal.
- Government’s argument. The government described Soto as holding “deep-rooted” anti-law-enforcement, anti-government, and anti-ICE views, opposed to federal immigration policy, calling it a “fascist regime” and believing “violence is necessary to make change”; it said he “knew what Song was going to do,” had trauma IFAKs (Individual First Aid Kits), “saw Song signaling” (one note recorded a flashlight signal), and “kept watch while Song yelled ‘get to the rifles.’” They said Soto, his wife, and Savanna [Batten] were involved.
- Defense argument. A. Davis submitted 12 character letters (“more than is typical”), argued the defense has a “fundamentally different view” of the evidence, and said the Sotos were “far away from the event,” were not in the core/planning chats, did not attend a “gear check,” and that government video shows Soto walking to his car before the shooting; left when asked, he “did not touch explosives” and no fireworks were in hand. Counsel noted Soto has “more support than any other” defendant.
- Character witness. Soto’s son Logan (also “Loghan”) testified: his father is family-oriented, took the children to his shop rather than parking them in front of a tablet, taught responsibility and integrity, is self-taught with a “genuine drive for education,” fixes cars without expecting anything in return, and — though “not a Christian” — “exemplifies the best qualities” and respects Christian generosity. The son described his father as a role model who “did not force his views” on the family, and referenced himself as being in the “army + medical student” (context was that education was valued in the household).
- Sentence: 600 months — Count 1: 60 months; Count 2: 180; Count 3: 240; Count 4: 120 — the counts consecutive to each other but concurrent with any related Johnson County sentence; restitution ≈ $4,408.95 to the Prairieland Detention Center with co-defendants; 2 years’ supervised release; $100 special assessment per count ($400 total); no fine. The government did not object; the defense objected and was overruled.
- ★ O’Connor framed the sentence around deterrence, stating that “violent plans to attack policy” are not how to address immigration enforcement, that change “should occur through the political process,” and that “engaging in terrorism is an assault on democratic processes.” Appeal notice due within 14 days. Soto “waved at his people as he was walked out in chains.”
Joy “Rowan” Gibson — 180 months (15 years). (~8:42–8:45 a.m.) Gibson had received the PSR and two addendums, reviewed with counsel. O’Connor sustained the 1st and 2nd objections (by agreement with the government) and overruled the 3rd. Total offense level 35, criminal history category 6; defense requested category 1 rather than 6. The judge acknowledged a large number of character letters, and supporting family present were asked to stand. Defense argued against the 180 months.
- ★ Gibson’s statement (allocution): “I love my friends, family, humanity, and the earth.”
- Sentence: O’Connor accepted the plea agreement and imposed 180 months, concurrent with the JoCo case; restitution with co-defendants; no fine; 2 years’ supervised release; mandatory $100/count special assessment. Right to appeal within 14 days. The judge closed: “Good luck to you.”
- Pronoun note:
case.mdlists Gibson’s pronouns as unconfirmed; note-takers and the court used she/her (one recorded the judge saying “ma’am”). Confirm before publishing.
Rebecca Morgan — 180 months (15 years). (~8:50–9:05 a.m.) O’Connor overruled and denied the objections and found the conduct aggravated; total offense level 40, criminal history category 6.
- Government: noted that Song was found in Morgan’s apartment and that “she originally said no” when asked, while acknowledging it was “a volatile situation.”
- Defense (counsel “Rose?” — name uncertain): urged the court to consider her age (23), a difficult childhood, and mental health issues; argued she was never violent, “wasn’t even present” at the protest, did not participate in planning, “never even [went to] Johnson County,” and did not know a protest was planned; that letting Song stay at her apartment “was very bad” but she was remorseful and “working hard” on her mental health. Present in support: mother, brother, and (per one note) an aunt and uncle. Counsel moved for a downward variance.
- Character witnesses. Her brother (oldest brother; “Johnny Morgan” per one note) testified to a Christian upbringing, her care for “the less fortunate,” church-group involvement, and that she is “already working toward next steps” (trades, certifications). Her mother, Deya[na] Morgan (a single mother and small-business owner) testified that Rebecca finished a four-year degree in neurobiology, wanted to be a doctor, worked as a CNA during COVID, and advocates for the marginalized and unhoused; that on June 5 Rebecca suffered a heart attack in jail and was defibrillated three times, and needs a facility that can meet her medical needs. (One account gives her age as 24 in the medical context — see flag.) A friend also spoke to her honesty and compassion. Rebecca declined to make a statement.
- Sentence: 180 months, concurrent with future JoCo charges; no fine; 2 years’ supervised release; mandatory $100 special assessment. Appeal within 14 days. O’Connor recommended placement at a facility that can meet her medical needs — FMC Carswell, near family.
Judge Pittman’s courtroom (Sharp, Thomas, Sikes, Bauman)
Pittman opened with a courtroom-conduct warning: a first outburst means being escorted out, a second means contempt — “Not a threat, a warning.” (Note-takers observed defendants smiling and chatting in the jury box beforehand; Bauman’s attorney and prosecutors shook hands and talked; Sharp grinned and “blew kisses” to family.)
Lynette Sharp — 110 months. Represented by Erin Kelly. Sharp had pleaded guilty (before Cureton) to providing material support to terrorism; Pittman accepted the plea agreement and waiver. Counsel lodged 5 objections; the judge indicated he would accept the objections pending confirmation of certain facts (one note-taker recorded them all granted). The guideline range referenced was 40 to 180 months.
- Character witnesses. Her husband, Marshall Sharp (a firefighter on 24-hour shifts), testified that Lynette left a paralegal career to care for the young daughter (named Dakota, who “goes by Kira”) of a psychiatrically disturbed niece; the child, autistic and special-needs, has had to be sent to live with others in Austin, which was traumatic; he stated he will not divorce and will support her. Their daughter — recorded as Casey / “Kacey Lee Hixon” (spelling uncertain) — 34, married, mother of three, working full-time, described the family as ordinary “until July,” said a sister with intellectual disabilities and a niece recently diagnosed with cancer are without needed support, and asked the judge to weigh the family impact.
- Defense: emphasized Sharp’s 21 medical conditions (osteoporosis, restless leg syndrome, deafness, IBS, other gastrointestinal issues), that she accepted responsibility early and cooperated, and requested placement at FMC Carswell or near Fort Worth so family can visit.
- ★ Sharp’s statement: publicly expressed remorse — “my actions caused harm to so many” — and apologized to Officer/Lt. Gross and his family: “When you make a mistake, apologize, take responsibility, do better.”
- ★ Pittman: said a downward variance was appropriate and that he appreciated her remorse and turning herself in, but found “her actions last July disturbing” because she knew Song had shot law enforcement and helped hide him — “I wish that had been the case with some others.”
- Sentence: 110 months, concurrent with any future JoCo sentence but consecutive to two other cases (one note: Johnson and Collin County charges); no fine and no restitution (no financial resources); supervised release (one note: 2 years); $100 special assessment. Recommended FMC / FMC Carswell or as close to the DFW/Fort Worth area as possible. Sharp waived appeal but retained the right to challenge on ineffective-assistance or involuntary-plea grounds.
John Thomas — 110 months. Thomas had appeared before Cureton in November, pleaded guilty, and signed a factual resume; Pittman found the plea agreement acceptable. No objections except to the PSR criminal-history calculation. Guideline references: 40 to 180 months, 4 years’ supervised release, fine $50,000–$250,000. Pittman granted the government’s motion for a downward variance, “based on similar circumstances” to the other cases. (Defense counsel appears to be “Danielson” — role uncertain; see flag.)
- Defense: argued Thomas “has no support and no connection to those people anymore,” was not present or welcome at Prairieland, and that although he later picked up and housed Song, he did not learn Song was the shooter until afterward (role framed as “accessory after the fact”). Counsel called the guideline sentence harsh, noted Thomas was never arrested, is “very engaging, bright,” “not interested in self-pity,” praised a letter Thomas wrote “with a bibliography,” and noted supportive family and friends present (Pittman had them raise their hands).
- ★ Pittman: stated the guidelines are set by Congress, not judges; that Thomas “helped someone who shot an officer”; and — “It is by the grace of God that Mr. Song’s AR-15 with a binary trigger was jammed by Lt. Gross’s shot. There are children in that neighborhood. It could have been an absolute slaughter.” He noted the case is “very relationship driven — perhaps some of those relationships contributed to some of these ideas.”
- Thomas’s statement: “stands on [his] letters and statements unreservedly,” knows he was wrong, and is sorry he ever got involved.
- Sentence: 110 months (downward variance based on docket entries 191 and 195, character letters, and Thomas’s own letter); 2 years’ supervised release with numerous conditions; $100 special assessment; “long enough but not longer than necessary.” Reserved the right to challenge whether the plea was voluntary. “JT is excused.”
Seth Sikes — 72 months. Sikes had pleaded guilty (Cureton, 2025); Pittman accepted the plea. Of 2 objections, the 1st was overruled (to paragraph 19) and the 2nd adopted (paragraph 25). Guideline references: offense level 29, criminal history 6, 151–180 months, 3 years’ supervised release, $2,000 fine. Pittman granted the motion for a downward variance as “appropriate for the reasons outlined in the sentencing memo.”
- Defense: argued Sikes was “one of the first — probably second — to cooperate,” testified at trial, cooperated while Song was still at large, and “gave info on… location that absolutely helped [the] gov’t locate Song”; counsel argued for a 50% reduction. (One note references information on “horses [?]” — meaning uncertain.)
- ★ Pittman: for all the “combat training [and] first aid,” calling the event a peaceful protest “begs credulity, since no one used any of this military-grade training and equipment to stop and help the officer after he got shot”; and it is “not helpful when attorneys come in and say ‘my client deserves probation’… you’re lucky this wasn’t much bigger.”
- ★ Sikes’s statement: “Please research my name — if you dig, you’ll find a decade-old essay from middle school that describes who I intended to be.” He said he arrived at “what was supposed to be a peaceful protest with people I knew and trusted, and I realize now that trust was a mistake”; he “disavow[ed] in the strongest words possible the actions of [Ben] Song & company” and their ideology; described switching college interests from engineering to public service/social work; accepted responsibility for a “poor choice of companions” and a “harmful ideology”; apologized to Officer Gross and his family; and quoted Marcus Aurelius on change.
- Pittman: noted Sikes turned himself in and helped apprehend a fugitive “on the run,” but was “deeply involved in the planning”; urged him to use BOP programs and finish his education.
- Sentence: 72 months (significant downward variance), concurrent with a Johnson County case; no fine; split restitution ≈ $4,408.98 with co-defendants who stood trial, first payment due within 60 days of release ($100/month); recommended a financial-responsibility class and placement at an FMC; 2 years’ supervised release with mandatory, standard, and special conditions; $100 special assessment; “sufficient but not greater than necessary.” Sikes waived appeal but reserved the right to challenge whether the plea was voluntary or whether the court miscalculated the sentence.
Nathan Bauman — 22 months. Represented by “Ben Florez” [?]. Bauman had pleaded guilty to material support of terrorism (knowing/voluntary plea before Cureton). ★ Pittman stated he was not using the sentencing guidelines for Bauman and overruled 7 defense objections. Guideline references nonetheless noted: offense level 29, criminal history 6, 151–180 months, supervised release not more than 3 years; Pittman granted docket entry 188, the motion for a downward variance. The judge said Bauman “does not fit the mold of this group,” “was not a member of the group until after the fact,” and cited his youth (age 19), saying he had given the case “considerable prayer.”
- Defense (Florez): said he had spent significant time with Bauman (two prep sessions of ~4 and ~3 hours), that Bauman “did not know there would be firearms,” “gave up willingly [and] cooperated,” and “is not one of the others”; read from a psychological evaluation describing him as an “anomaly,” with ADHD as the only issue and a low risk assessment; recounted that Bauman was homeschooled until 14, struggled to make friends, and met “the wrong ones” — including a girl at a “No Kings” protest who “gave him the key to the chat.” Counsel read from an Andy Ngo article naming Bauman and quoted online threats against cooperators (“snitches need to get stitches,” “it’s a grim day for snitches”); said Bauman’s brother and sister-in-law believe they were stalked.
- ★ Pittman (on threats): “We’ve come to a time when people think it’s OK to dox or harass, or [that] people want to kill the judge… zero respect for the law.” He again returned to the scene — references to ~50 firearms at Prairieland, “combat-grade first-aid equipment,” body armor, and “guns hidden in the woods,” a jammed rifle with rounds remaining (“if it weren’t for that miracle bullet, it could have just been a slaughter”), and Signal chats he said “indicate a plan to cause a prison riot” — “That’s not anti-fascist or whatever… This had indications of a war.” He added, “You are never as bad as you are on your worst day.”
- ★ Bauman’s statement: “I’m truly sorry… No justification for what I did.” He apologized to the officers whose vehicles he damaged, said he had been praying for the shot officer and his family “every day,” described coming from a military family (a middle brother deployed, whom he fears he may not see again), said his conduct “is a contradiction of my beliefs,” and said he was immature and “should never have gone.”
- Character witnesses. Brother Taylor Bessent and mother Joyce Bessent testified in support (the family surname “Bessent” differs from the defendant name recorded as “Bauman”/”Baumann” — see flag). “Shawn Smith” (Govt Prosecutor) declined to speak. Placement requests included Seagoville or somewhere near Galveston; Pittman mentioned Bastrop; Bauman said “anywhere safe.”
- Sentence: 22 months (a “very significant downward variance” based on cooperation and youth), concurrent with Johnson County charges; no fine; joint/separate restitution with co-defendants ($100/month); recommended the inmate financial-responsibility program; supervised release (one note: 1 year). Bauman waived appeal but may challenge whether the plea was voluntary or whether the court erred.
Incidents and atmosphere
- Tight courtroom-conduct restrictions in both rooms. In O’Connor’s courtroom, court security warned observers three to four times that “any outburst, gestures, smiling, eye contact with defendants, the judge, or court staff would result in expulsion from the courthouse” and that expelled observers would not be allowed to return; observers were confined to the left side of the courtroom, and the entire right side of the benches was reserved for legal/law enforcement. A bailiff instructed the defendants, “No facial expressions or communication of any kind — is that clear?” and stood scanning the room. Pittman issued the same escort/contempt warning.
- Defendant demeanor. Note-takers recorded defendants “smiling and chatting” in the jury box before Pittman’s session; Ines Soto smiled at his family and “waved at his people as he was walked out in chains”; Lynette Sharp grinned and “blew kisses” to family.
- Threats against cooperators. A recurring theme in Pittman’s courtroom was online harassment and threats (“snitches need to get stitches”) directed at cooperating defendants, and the Bauman family’s belief that they had been stalked; Pittman extended this to threats against prosecutors and judges.

Court Notes — AB — 2026-07-01
7/1
Bauman atty & CW chummy, shake hands and chatter before, talk for approx. 6 mins. Shawn Smith joins approx. 1 minute in. Snitches look happy, bored.
Prelim remarks. Pittman
Outburst, emotions, this is not the place. 1st outburst, escort out. 2nd outburst, contempt. Not a threat, a warning.
Sharp — Erin Kelly
Pittman asks if she has trouble seeing or hearing let him know.
Lynette appeared before Cureton, pled guilty, acknowledges that she remembers. Pittman reminds her of factual resume. Pittman accept her plea agreement. Atty acknowledges receipt of PSR, did review. 5 objections lodged. If she disagrees, as far as he’s concerned… cuts off, says he will accept objections pending confirmations on some facts. Total off 40 to 180 months.
Sharp’s atty — husband, daughter Casey will speak. Marshall Sharp speaks — explains he and Lynette have a psych. disturbed neice. LS sacrificed her paralegal career to care for the neice’s young daughter Dakota, who is autistic and special needs. Neice has gone into a group home. Lynette is needed to care for her. Marshall says he will not go through w/ divorce and is fully prepared to support Lynette. Dakota goes by Kira.
Casey [margin note: ^Leigh Hickson?] speaks — 34, wife, mom of 3, wks full time. Normal person, ordinary life until 7/13. Sister w/ intell. disabilities has struggled. Neice was recently diag. w/ cancer. Sentencing is one of the greatest responsibility, sure it’s not easy. Hopes he will consider the family when making decision.
Atty. reiterates LS’s 21 medical conds, osteoporosis, RLS, deafness, IBS, other gastro issues. Reqs Lynette be @ Carswell or close by so family can visit. Accepted responsibility early, assisted the govt., etc.
Lynette
Publicly expr. remorse, my actions caused harm to so many. Idk what its worth, but apol. to Ofc. Gross. When you make a mistake, apol., take responsi., do better.
Court has considered sent. recs from govt. Feels that downward variance is appropriate, appreciates her remorse but he finds her actions last July disturbing. Trying to balance. Giving signif. less than 15, probably not what she hopes, but signif. reduct. be he appreciates her remorse, turn herself in. “I wish that had been the case with some others, but…
Sentence — 110 months, runs concurrently w/ any future sentence from JOCO but consecutively w/ 2 other cases. No fine bc no financial resources. No restitution. Supervised release of _ years. 1x special assess $100. Repeats ↓ variance.
3553 factors, comments, cooperation, need to protect public, ↓ variance is necessary. Punishment, public safety, etc. Recommending FMC or as close to DFW ur possible. Waived her right to appeal, has right to challenge on grounds
of ineff. counsel or plea not being voluntary. Lynette is excused.
John Thomas — appeared before Cureton in Nov. plead guilty, understood elements of offense, signed agreement to factual resume. Pittman read these documents, finds plea agreem. acceptable, turn over to Mr. Danielson? Obj. to factual findings? None except un PSR. [margin note: crim hist] 40 to 180 months 4 yrs spv. rel, fine of 50-250k. Granting and wong motion filed for sentencing today. Prepared to grant ↓ variance based on similar circum.
Atty mentions protesters, how nothing across the street in support of John. He has no support and no connect to those people anymore. At the time of Prairieland, I believe he was not welcome or invited there or to be around “those people”. Role was more of accessory after the fact. Unclear gibberish abt extreme sentences. Pittman whining about parameters set by Congress not judges.
Danielson “agree but still unreasonable” [margin note: ^to the court] D’son is impressed w/ JT’s letter w/ bibliography. JT has friends who were surprised that he wasn’t int. in conversations of self pity ur lamenting where he is. Has family here, very supportive friends. Pittman has JT’s farm raise hands, says he really appreciates that JT has some support. Very relationship driven, perhaps some of those relat. contributed to some of these ideas.
[margin note: JT] Stands on letters and statements unreservedly, knows he was wrong, etc. Pittman explains hes taken all details into consideration.
Guns, body armor. Prairieland situation. in a neighborhood, really just by the grace of God — this could have been a slaughter — absolute slaughter. Kids in the neighborhood. etc. But appreciates his testimony. Wants Seagoville, _, or Oxford. WI?
Sentence: ↓ variance based on matters disc. in docs 191 and 195, character letters, letter from JT.
110 months – super release 2 yrs. w/ numerous conditions.
1x special assess $100
long enough but not longer than necessary. Reserves the right to challenge whether plea agreement was voluntary?
JT is excused.
Seth Sikes
Pittman – like other defs, will discuss bkgd. Appeared before Cureton — 2025 – Cureton found plea voluntary, agreed to accuracy, etc. Pittman had chance to review – finds sentence acceptable for seriousness of crimes committed. Plea agreemt. accepted.
Lodged 2 objs; 1st overruled, 2nd para 25. accepted by prob ofc. will be accepted by the court. Now will adopt as my final finding… mumbling.
Sikes
29 6 151-180 mos Spvs 3 yrs
fine $2k — granting 2nd motion
↓ variance is appropriate for reasons outlined in sentencing memo.
Atty: my client was one of the first, prob second to coop. Seth was able to help gov’t considerably, gave info on horses [?] and location that absolutely helped gov’t locate Song.
“For med grade first aid kits, for this to continue to be called a peaceful protest, meanwhile, no one used any of this military grade training and equipt to stop and help the officer after he got shot.” It’s not v helpful to me when attys come in and say “my client deserves probation. Like I said earlier, you’re lucky this wasn’t much bigger.
Sikes speaks. plans of going to college, wanted to make something of myself. Arrived that night to what was supposed to be a peaceful protest w/ people I knew and trusted, and I realize now that trust was a mistake.
I disavow in the strongest words possible the actions of Song & Co. I have done everything in my power to help the gov’t. Disavow ideology of the people who committed these acts.
College interest – engineering. No passion for it, switched to public service, social work? WTF Cannot understand most of what he’s saying. Had 1 in-class semester left to finish _?
Could have and should have done better w/ my freedom. I failed to do my due dilligence and surround myself w/ the right people. Cannot take these things back, only absolution is
Accept resp. for my poor choice of companions. harmful ideology, etc.
Rambling about sense of self preservation.
7/4/25. my ignorance of red flags my trust in Ben Song. I allowed myself to be led astray. Promise to never stray from the righteous path again. Talking about God, being a true member of society ASAP.
Turned self in. testimony, had a fugitive OTR that you helped apprehend, however, you were deeply involved in the planning of this. Take adv of programs, etc. Get college degree.
Sentence – signif. ↓ variance

Ben Florez [?] for Baumann charges re: read, plea w/ Cureton, knowing and voluntary plea, etc. Same “seriousness of event” spiel as other defs.
Objections: won’t be using guidelines as I did w/ others today so obj. unnecc, though well-written.
Anything else to add today?
Overrule 7 objs launched by defense Imo.
29 6 151-180 mos Superv. not more than 3 yrs granting doc 188, motion for ↓
Baumann does not fit the mold of this group, was not a member of the group until after the fact. Also his age. What his role was, as an outlier. Pittman has given considerable prayer to this. [margin note: Atty] In gov’s motion for downward…? I’ve spent a lot of time w/ him, I have the same concerns you do. I just feel like, how can I help him? What can I do?
2 prep sessions, 4 hrs and 3 hrs. Did not know there would be firearms, he is not one of the others. Gave up willingly, cooperated. Understands the seriousness of this event, wishes he never went.
This is an anamoly, reading from Baumann’s psych eval. [margin note: yes, weird pronunc.]
Home schooled, couldn’t make or keep friends, went out into the world → tried to make friends and assoc. Met a girl @ No kings. She’s the one gave him that key to the chat. He met some friends, just the wrong ones. Mumbles abt internet magazines. Talking abt Andy Ngo, article mentions Baumann. Florez is reading comments “snitches need to get stitches” “it’s a grim day for snitches” “snitches need to get disciplined.”
Reading some wisdom abt rats. Brother of Baumann and his wife believe they were stalked. Pitt “we’ve come to a time when people think it’s ok to dox or harass, or people want to
kill the judge or… we’ve come to a time when there is zero respect for the law. Did he just say there were 50 firearms @ Prairieland? “This could have been an absolute slaughter. Night, 4th of July, in a neighborhood w/ children. God forbid, it could have been a slaughter.
Florez says Baumann is “a good Christian kid.” goes over shooting scene again.
Florez talks abt rifle jamming, how many more rounds left in the rifle. Pittman chimes in again “I believe at least 60, I mean, god forbid, if it weren’t for that miracle bullet, it could have just been a slaughter.
I’m truly sorry, do apologize. No justification for what I did. Have been praying for him and his family every day. From a military family, so I understand the feeling of worrying every day. Loud sniffing. Pittboss asks if Baumann has any family here. 4 people in front of me raise their hands. Florez says “no.”
Reqs placement @ Seagoville, close to his family, some place close to Galveston? Pitt says Bastrop?
Taylor Bassett? maybe his brother? love him, v close to him, here to show that family is there for him. Hard to hear, AC is loud.
[margin note: Ban’s] Mum – Joyce Bassett – crying, hard to hear.
Shawn Smith does not wish to speak
Never approp to vandalize. Never okay to plan for these kinds of things. Signal chats indicate a plan to cause a prison riot with the people inside. That’s not anti-fasc or whatever.
Sentence – very signif ↓ variance based on what I’ve heard today, etc. Cooperation w/ govt, young age, 19
↓ variant, much thought. Sentencing—Act of 1984, judgment of Court
22 months – no fine, no fin. resources joint / sep restitution w/ co-defs
Recommend inmate finan. respons. program. Waive right to appeal, can challenge if plea was voluntary or mistake by Pittman

US v Sharp
State name — has trouble hearing
Plead guilty to providing material support of terrorism. Part of plea agreement. Compared charge to plea. Accept plea and waiver. Δ & Prosecution have had time to review everything. Granted all objections. Adjusted sentencing guidelines. Emphasized his review of character letters.
Marshall Sharp: Lynette not really unemployed. Cares for special needs child. He is a firefighter works 24 hr shifts cannot leave child alone. Has had to send child
to live with others in Austin. Very disruptive to family & traumatic to autistic child. No plan to divorce. Marriage for better or worse
Kacey Lee Hixon: has had to take on care for disabled sister and her disabled cousin w/ cancer is w/o support needed. Pleads for the judge to consider family impact
Δ: Sharp has 21 health conditions. Requests she be sent to a medical facility near Fort Worth. She accepted responsibility early & cooperated with govt.
Lynette: remorse for involvement. Actions caused harm & will continue to cause harm for years to come. Apologize to Officer Gross & family. People make mistakes, accept responsibility and do better
Judge: Accept sentencing recommendation. Disturbing you knew Song shot law enforcement & helped hide him. Appreciate turning self in & cooperating. Wish others had done this. 2350 factors.
Judgement: 110 months, to run consecutively to Johnson & Collin County charges
no restitution. Supervised released 2 yrs. 3553 factors considered as well as severity of offense & need to protect public. Recommend sentence served at FMC Carswell or as close to FW as possible. Right to appeal must be filed w/in 10 days.
US v Thomas
Plead guilty and waived appellate rights. PSR reviewed by all. Guideline calc. accepted. Motion granted. Sentencing letters reviewed. Variance granted for similar reasons as Sharp.
Δ Protestors in park have zero support or connection to John anymore. He was not present or welcome at Prairieland. He did pick up & house Song afterward, but did not learn he was shooter until afterward.
J: Sentencing guidelines is not set by judge. These are established by congress. Judges do not make these up.
Δ: Agree, but sometimes they are unjustly applied. John never arrested. Very engaging, bright. Not interested in self-pity.
the guideline sentencing in this case would be harsh. Family is here to support. Has everything to be successful. Relationship driven. Disagree with some conclusions, but the reasoning is clear.
Thomas: Stand by everything in statement. Sorry ever got involved.
J: Helped someone who shot an officer. Prairieland not in the middle of nowhere. “It is by the grace of god that Mr Song’s AR 15 with a binary trigger was jammed by Lt. Gross’s shot. There are children in that neighborhood. It could have been an absolute slaughter.”
Judgement → 110 mo. no restitution. Supervised release for 2 years.
US v Sikes
Plead guilty, plea agreement, waiver of appellate rights. PSR & addendum received & reviewed. Objection to paragraph 19 overruled. 2nd objection adopted.
Δ: testified at trial cooperated when Song was still at large and helped law enforcement locate him.
J: for all combat training, first aid. That this was peaceful begs credulity since no one stopped to help the injured officer.
Δ: Early contriteness to remedy situation. Argues for 50% time cut.
J: Not helpful when asking for no time. Appreciate candor. Lucky this was not a slaughter
Sikes: Please research my name, if you dig you’ll find a decade old essay from middle school that describes who I intended to be. I trusted those people & that was a mistake. I disavow actions of B Song & company. I wish I could have done something to stop this. I failed to keep people safe. Apologize to Officer Gross & his family. Doing what I can to correct… disavow the beliefs… love America… [margin note: social work] student seeking to uplift others. Could [margin note: I] & should have done more. I made terrible decisions that night. Quotes Marcos Aurelius about change. Red flags around Song before that night & erred in ignoring them. Something about God wanting to rejoin pieces to the
whole.
J: Hope you are sincere. Take advantage of BOP programs & finish education. Sig downward variance
[margin note: 6 years] Judgement: 72 months. Restitution 4.4_8.98. $100/mo. Supervised release for 2 years. Right to appeal.
US v Bauman
Pled guilty material support of terrorism. PSR received & reviewed. Not using guidelines for sentencing. Overruled 7 objections. The fact not active member of group until aft fact. Very young. Given a lot of prayers to this.
Δ Spent a lot of time with him. Not sure why he’s here. Telling truth. Provided helpful information. Not one of them. Gave up immediately, cooperated. Psychologist evaluated – only prob. ADHD. Risk assessment low. Homeschooled until 14 – not well socialized and because of empathy got involved with the wrong people. Goes over threats to snitches. Quotes article calling him a
rat.
J: We’ve come to time where people think it’s acceptable to make death threats doxing. Not just those who turn themselves in but prosecutors & judges. It is a very serious matter. Could have been a slaughter. There were 50 fire arms, combat grade first aid equip, body armor, in a neighborhood, guns hidden in the woods. If this is what we’re calling a peaceful protest… I’m sorry, continue.
Δ Good christian kid. Tells crazy version of shooting
J: It could have been a slaughter. I want to hear from you. You did an awful lot of property damage.
Bauman: Want to apologize to officers whose vehicles I damaged. I’ve been praying for the officer who was shot. From military family. Middle brother deployed. I’m probably not going to see him come home. What I did is a contradiction of my beliefs. Apologize to family & thank them for their love & support. Was much more immature. Should never have gone
J: Where would you like to be detained?
B: Anywhere safe.
Taylor Bassett: Nathan’s brother. He is a good person is loved by many people. Family respects the law. We love him and will be there for him no matter what
Joyce Bassett: Nathan’s mom. Agree with what Judge has said. Devastated by what happened. Family will be there for him
J: Never acceptable to vandalize govt facilities. Signal chats suggest objective was prison riot. This had indications of a war. You are never as bad as you are on your worst day. Judgement: 22 months, concurrent with Johnson County charges. Restitution paid $100/mo. Supervised release for 1 year

Case # 425-CR259
Ines Soto
Judge: Overruled objections
Gov’t: Defendant – deep rooted anti Gov’t, anti immigration enforcement, anti ICE, but believes violent action is justified. Hard to deter or rehabilitate. Significant sentence is necessary. Firearms, trauma IFAKs (Individual First Aid Kits), keeping watch while Song yelled “get to the rifles” He and his wife and Savanna involved.
Federal crime of terrorism, all assets forfeited that were listed.
Defense: (forfeiture) Filed extremely late – 2 wks before sentencing
Items recovered after the fact from Soto residence that were not connected to anything. Gov’t had to connect the dots for us how these items were relevant.
Judge: Gov’t is justified to forfeit all listed items.
pg 2
Judge: Denies motion for new trial / aquittal
Defense: Submitted 12 character letters, there were many more that were written, more then is typical. We have a fundamentally different view then the gov’t of the case. Sotos were far away from event, not in main planning chats, did not go to gear check, no evidence of fireworks in hand. Request sentence in line with his conduct.
Character witness: Soto’s son Logan
Family oriented, time spent together, took us to his shop, instead of in front of tablet.
Did not drink alcohol, lay hands on anybody, or even argue in public.
Taught us responsibility. Self taught, genuine drive for education. Never tried to push his beliefs on us. While he is not a Christian, he exemplifies the best qualities. He does right by people and has integrity. He has reflected on the gravity of the case. Weigh the totality and impact of your sentencing.
Defense: Deserves much less than guidelines
Judge: 60 mo Count 1
180 Count 2
240 Count 3
120 Count 4
__
600 mo Consecutive
Restitution $ 4408.95 to Prairieland Detention Center
pg 3
Judge: Considered all factors & PSR, individualized consideration. Special assessment $100/count
Defense: objection
Judge: overruled. Need for sentence to serve just punishment & to deter similar actions. Violent attacks / plans to attack policy is not how to handle anti-immigration enforcement. File notice of appeal within 14 days.
Ines waved at his people as he was walked out in chains.
8:45am Joy Gibson (Rowan and Rebecca were seated together)
Judge: sustain objection to 1st & 2nd filed due to agreement w/ gov’t
overrule 3rd objection filed
(Pause while court personnel presents files to judge)
Judge: Acknowledges large # of character letters received
Defense: Large number of family is present – stand to be recognized. Requests Criminal history category 1 instead of 6
★ Defense speaks with Rowan ★
pg 4
Joy “Rowan” Gibson: “I love my friends, family, humanity, the earth.”
Judge: Accepts plea agreement
Sentence of 180 months. Restitution to be paid.
Supervised release – 2 years. Appeal can be filed, must be within 14 days. Judge to Rowan: “Good luck”
Rebecca Morgan
Judge: Overruled objections. Aggravated conduct.
Crim History category 6
Gov’t: (Rebecca) knew we were looking for Song – understand it was a volatile situation,but her actions were aggravated.
Judge: Know she has health issues and received many character letters.
Defense: Consider her age, 23 yrs old. Mental health issues, difficult upbringing. Never involved in any violence or even any protest, never even in Johnson County. Provided no assistance in July 4th. Didn’t even know there would be a protest. What she did was very bad letting Song stay at her place, but she is remorseful and working hard to make amends. Present are her family to support. Mother & brother to speak.
Character Witness 1: Brother
Cares for others, active in church group growing up →
pg 5
Genuine care and love for others. Grew up in Christian family. We look forward to seeing her outside. She is already working towards next steps. We love her very much.
Character Witness 2: Mother, Deyana Morgan
Single mom, small business owner. Legal / political world is foreign to me. Lord sent her to me as a gift – Can’t imagine a day without her. Proud to be her mother. Both empaths, excruciatingly hard to see others suffer. We can’t turn away. She is kind, compassionate, her friends are honest with each other and loyal. She wanted to become a doctor. She suffers from depression which delayed her progress but she finished her 4 year degree in neurobiology. She supports the marginalized. I am proud that she advocates for those on the bottom rung. She grew up in the church and embodies “love thy neighbor”.
June 5 suffered a heart attack in jail. She is 24, she needs medical help. Harrowing experience.
Please consider her medical record in her sentencing.
Judge: 180 mo concurrent w/ any future sentence
No fine. Considered all facts
9:05 Special assessment $100
Right to appeal – 14 days.
To be housed in facility where she will have medical needs met.
