Anthime Gionet, a former Anchorage resident known as “Baked Alaska” to his social media followers, declined to address the court before a judge sentenced him to 60 days behind bars followed by two years of probation.
Anthime"Baked Alaska" Gionet, who livestreamed himself storming the U.S. Capitol in Jan. 6, arrives at federal court in Washington, Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2023.
Tim Gionet, aka Baked Alaska, livestreamed from the US Capitol Jan. 6, 2020 on a gaming platform DLive. On Jan. 6, Gionet was a “professional troll engaged in increasingly provocative and criminal behavior in an apparent effort to drive online engagement and increase his notoriety and earning power,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony Franks said in a court filing.
McFadden acquitted a New Mexico man, Matthew Martin, of riot-related charges in April 2022 after hearing trial testimony without a jury. Martin is the only Jan. 6 defendant who has been acquitted of all charges after a trial. Defense attorney Zachary Thornley said Gionet went to the Capitol “to document” and didn’t engage in any violence or destruction. The lawyer argued in a court filing that Gionet “never crossed the line from being a protestor to a rioter.”
