◦ Sicknicks medical report came out
• It took more than 100 days to release the results from the January autopsy. The full autopsy report was never released to the public.
• The chief medical examiner, Dr. Francisco J. Diaz, told The Washington Post that there was no evidence that Sicknick was injured or had an allergic reaction to chemical irritants.
• It was ruled that he died of natural causes from having two strokes at the base of the brain stem caused by a clogged artery.
• Diaz then stated that “all that transpired played a role in his condition.” (The causes confusion)

• later went down to Home Confinement with curfew.
◦ Plea deal
• government dropped all 10 felonies, superseded indictment a few days before hearing and added the two misdemeanors.
• Wanted to go to trial but they were threatening a global plea deal and that would have helped co defendant avoid going to trial and potentially 20 years
◦ Sentencing

• Statements made by family that Sicknick was killed that day.

• Time with family & young children
• Named ruined, defamation calling me a cop killer.
◦ Civil lawsuit
• Sicknick’s ex girlfriend is suing you, Julian Khater and Donald Trump for Wrongful Death seeking 10 million each.
• Says she’ll donate to charity
• you and Julian have both been bankrupted and have no way of paying for attorneys let alone 10mil
◦ Strange:
-Sicknick had to strokes due to BLOOD CLOT. Was he Vaccinated?
-Other officers denied him help when TRUMP Supporters saw he was having stroke and they tried to help. Witnesses to that
-They pulled the plug on him the next day and cremated him
-MSM ran with story that he was hit with fire extinguisher, held memorial at Capitol for him, tried to impeach Trump quickly after 1/6 with his death as focal point.
⁃ DOJ wanted to charge us with Murder but couldn’t get away with it.
Now with legal suit pending against me I need to hirer lawyers to help me defend the case. 47 page civil suit and I am mentioned 5 times and it riddled with falsehood. Still claiming Bear spray was used. Legal fees could run up to 100k.
