‘QAnon Shaman’ released from prison following airing of J6 exculpatory footage
March 30, 2023 | Melissa Fine
Jacob Chansley, better known as the “QAnon Shaman” has been released early from prison to the custody of a halfway house.
“After serving eleven months in solitary prior to his sentence being imposed, and only 16 months of his sentence thereafter, it is appropriate this gentle and intelligent young man be permitted to move forward with the next stage of what undoubtedly will be a law-abiding and enriching life,” Chansley’s former attorney, Albert S. Watkins, said in a Thursday statement to DailyMail.com. “I applaud the decision of the US Bureau of Prison in this regard.”
Chansley, 35, became the painted face of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
As BizPac Review reported, he was sentenced to 41 months in prison in November 2021, after pleading guilty to one count of felony obstruction of an official proceeding in September of that fateful year. It was the longest sentence handed out to a J6 protestor.
