Lawyers who've defended clients before Tanya S. Chutkan, the judge assigned to Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 election conspiracy case, have some advice for the former president and his attorneys: buckle up.
Lawyers with experience in her courtroom are quick to warn others not to underestimate Chutkan, who can be obliging on procedural matters and empathetic with defendants but firm when it comes to handing down sentences.
Osgood was wrong: “At first I thought well I’ll probably get a decent sentence. My client got four months,” he tells“She was quite nice and polite. She let me do everything by zoom. She granted a motion, an extension on time to report because of [my client’s] job. But she is of the opinion that these people need to go to prison,” he says.
“Judge Chutkan is an extremely competent judge who is fair to both sides in my experience. She is not swayed by partisan interests, public clamor, of fear of criticism,” says Charles R Haskell, an attorney who has represented January 6 defendants in her courtroom. “I would expect the case to move quickly.”
But as Chutkan herself points out often in sentencing, “there’s always the danger of reducing a defendant to a series of calculations and numbers” and the same is true of her experience in January 6 cases. The judge herself is more complex than a handful of stiff sentences in insurrection cases, also showing moments of empathy, compassion, and humor.
