   Lawyers for a US Capitol rioter accused of carrying a stun-gun as he   
   stormed into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office during the Jan. 6   
   invasion implored a federal judge to give “peace” a chance by releasing   
   the suspect from jail.   
      
   In a rambling, 46-page brief filed Monday in the US District Court for   
   Washington, DC, attorneys for Richard “Bigo” Barnett invoked the phrase in   
   an apparent nod to John Lennon’s 1969 anti-war anthem, “Give Peace a   
   Chance.”   
      
   “Peace is no longer given a chance,” the brief read in part. “Common   
   ground is out of sight. Our Constitution — an inspired document, drafted   
   during times like these, foreseeing times like these — can only save us.”   
      
   But that was not all that Barnett’s lawyers, Joseph McBride and Steven   
   Metcalf II, were saying in the “preamble” of their brief, which asked that   
   Barnett be freed, if not on his own recognizance, at least into the   
   supervisory custody of his wife with his agreement that he wear a   
   monitoring device.   
      
   “America is divided,” the preamble begins. “Her citizenry is more   
   distrustful of government than ever before. Brother has turned against   
   brother. Fathers have turned against sons. Sisters who once embraced, now   
   see each other as mortal enemies. Pleas for equal treatment under the law   
   are met with accusations of false equivalence. Citizens ask for tolerance   
   with one breath and move to smite those with opposing viewpoints the very   
   next breath.”   
      
   Barnett, a 60-year-old Arkansas resident, is accused of being among the   
   hordes of supporters of then-President Donald Trump who forced their way   
   into the Capitol on January 6 in an attempt to disrupt Congress’   
   certification of the 2020 presidential election results.   
      
   During the chaos, five people died, including a US Capitol police officer.   
      
   Amid the mayhem, Barnett allegedly forced his way into the private office   
   of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), propped his booted foot up on   
   her desk for a photograph and left a note that read in part — by his own   
   account to a YouTuber — “Nancy, Bigo was here, you bitch.”   
      
   In the same interview, Barnett claimed that he was “pushed” into Pelosi’s   
   office.   
      
   Barnett’s lawyers also denied he broke into Pelosi’s office, saying their   
   client was merely “looking for a restroom” when he and reporters   
   “wandered” into the speaker’s room.   
      
   “He did not break the door to get into the room,” the court filing says.   
   “It was open and there was no sign on the door.”   
      
   Barnett also claims a reporter “invited Richard to take a picture at the   
   Speaker’s desk, and told Richard ‘act natural,'” according to the   
   documents.   
      
   Barnett, who is accused of carrying a stun-gun during the invasion, is   
   charged with unlawfully entering the US Capitol, disorderly conduct and   
   theft of public property, with the latter charge for allegedly swiping a   
   piece of mail from Pelosi’s office.   
      
   He was initially set to be granted bail while awaiting trial, but that   
   decision was reversed, leading Barnett to last month label his continuing   
   incarceration “not fair.”
