US Capitol rioter with cancer ordered released from jail after surprise inspection found unsafe conditions
CNN
A federal judge has ordered a January 6 defendant to be released from the DC jail after an unannounced inspection by US Marshals last month showed mistreatment of detainees and increased the judge's concern that a defendant with cancer would not be treated properly.
Judge Royce Lamberth said that the conditions in the jail were "deplorable" and "beyond belief," and ordered that defendant Christopher Worrell be transferred immediately to a different jail, and released on home detention as soon as possible to start chemotherapy.
"This court has zero confidence that the DC jail" will provide the treatment correctly and not retaliate against Worrell, Lamberth said.
