Remarkably, Fellows has petitioned the judge to grant him a delay in potential release from jail, a request made even more unusual by his description of his prison experience as “awesome and very fun.” Prosecutors have initially recommended a three-year prison term for Fellows, and his sentencing was slated for March 1.
The convicted individual, however, is seeking a delay, citing the pending U.S. Supreme Court case, United States v. Fischer. This case challenges the proper interpretation of a law that deems it illegal to “corruptly” interfere with Congress, seeking clarity on its applicability to offenses committed on January 6.
In a filing submitted on Thursday, Fellows expressed his desire to await the Supreme Court’s resolution of the legal uncertainties surrounding his case. He argued that the contested law, the sole felony in his case, affects the recommended Guidelines sentencing range for his specific charges. Fellows contended that his conviction rested on a dubious interpretation of the statute, particularly concerning the element of knowingly interrupting a non-judicial proceeding.

While acknowledging that his time in Fort Worth and Lewisburg prisons was “awesome and very fun,” he criticized his current jail for its “filth,” lack of nutritional value in food, absence of weight rooms, and a dearth of educational classes.
