Jan. 6 ‘Disinformation’ Monitoring an ‘Affront to Liberty,’ Attorney Says

If Judge Reggie Walton reimposes surveillance of her client’s computer, it will violate a February appeals court ruling, defense attorney Carol Stewart warns.

If U.S. District Senior Judge Reggie Walton tries to reimpose the monitoring of Jan. 6 probationer Daniel Goodwyn’s computer for “disinformation,” it would violate an appeals court order and be an “affront to liberty,” a defense attorney wrote in a new court filing.

Carol Stewart, defense attorney in Mr. Goodwyn’s Jan. 6 criminal case, has filed a response to Judge Walton’s order to show cause why he should not reimpose what the U.S. Court of Appeals struck down on Feb. 1.
