Edward Richmond, Jr. is an insurrectionist from Louisiana. He was charged with assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon, a metal baton. He was sentenced to four years in prison but was pardoned by Trump.
Previously, he was court-martialed for killing an Iraqi civilian in handcuffs. He was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to three years in military prison.
In 2012, he was arrested for domestic violence, but charges were dropped as often happens with domestic violence cases. About 78% of cases that are not prosecuted are dismissed because victims refuse to cooperate.
