The DOJ has quietly dropped its case against January 6 defendant Matthew Perna after Perna committed suicide last month. Perna, who was not charged with a violent crime, pleaded guilty to multiple trespassing-related charges and was facing additional penalties. In December, Matthew Perna, 37, pleaded guilty to felony obstruction of Congress and three misdemeanor charges associated with his entry into the Capitol on Jan 6, the U.S. Attorney’s office for the District of Columbia reported Friday. He was scheduled for sentencing on March 3.
Government prosecutors planned to hit Perna with additional charges after a video emerged of him simply throwing a flagpole. “They informed him the other day that they were pursuing additional charges. He couldn’t take another day,” Perna’s family said in a statement.
Matthew Perna was inside the Capitol building for 20 minutes after U.S. Capitol police opened the doors and ushered protesters in. The PA native was not accused of vandalism or any violent crime, simply trespassing-related offenses. Still, Perna and other non-violent January 6 protesters have been ruthlessly prosecuted by the Biden regime while BLM rioters have received lesser sentences, if they are even convicted. A report from The Guardian found that over 90% of BLM riot-related charges were dismissed by partisan prosecutors.
After Perna’s suicide, the DOJ quietly dismissed its case against the non-violent Trump supporter. “A defendant’s death is a basis for abatement of all proceedings from their inception,” wrote Assistant U.S. Attorney Nihar H. Mohanty in a filing. “Wherefore, the United States respectfully requests that the prosecution of Mr. Perna be abated.”
Perna was facing multiple years in prison despite a clean criminal record and lack of charges for a violent crime. American Greatness reporter Julie Kelly reached out to the DOJ for comment but did not hear back.
The bastards killed him. Screw them Nazi bitches.
How can the prosecute someone who is dead? They could only be dropping he case, if pursuing it is still an option?
I’m surprised that they didn’t insist on trying him in absentia.
/S
Or they could prop the body up in the Court Room.
What the f*** is a Nihar H. Mohanty? Can’t the government find Americans to lynch these American patriots?
That’s mighty white of them.
DOJ: “Our work here is done.”

Deep state reaction.
They committed murder.
I would guess as some point in the future his death will be avenged. I can’t believe they’re doing this to non-violent people.
Add his name to Ashli Babbitt’s
Yet.
Sounds like it was just a matter of time.
“Government prosecutors planned to hit Perna with additional charges after a video emerged of him simply throwing a flagpole.”
I think that the point is that this event has caused absolutely no reassessment by those in charge of the treatment of these people in view of the triviality of these so-called crimes. There is no statement showing even a glimmer of recognition of the injustice taking place.
If there remains a shred of decency in DC at least a single judge will reference this event while apologizing to the accused over what has come to pass.
Hell has not a hot enough spot waiting for Nancy Pelosi.
That fat fella will rot in hell one day! I hope that he never needs someone to come to his defense!
How can the prosecute someone who is dead?

Hey. If the Democrats can impeach a former president who is no longer president, then they can do anything.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they file a civil suit against his estate. Just to punish his relatives.
Mission accomplished! Where’s the associated picture of Biden in the flight suit?
