Her attorney said she could face 'severe illness or even death' if jailed.
A Facebook post by Dona Bissey on January 6 , the Capitol Riot Dona Bissey faces charges relating to her involvement in the Capitol riot.Her attorney said she could face "severe illness or even death" if jailed.
Dona Bissey, 53, from Bloomfield, Indiana, faces four charges, including entering and remaining in a restricted building, violent entry, and disorderly conduct in the Capitol."Simply put, if Ms Bissey is incarcerated at the D.C. Jail or in the BOP, which has seen 259 inmate deaths and over 43,000 infections from COVID-19, she is extremely likely to suffer severe illness or even death," her attorney A. J. Kramer wrote in the filing.
However, Kramer said Bissey "does not deserve to die for her bad behavior on January 6" and implored the court to take her "unique medical vulnerabilities" into account.The filing notes that Bissey maintains she is unvaccinated because her doctor in Indiana advised against it because of her compromised liver., which notes that some doctors in the US might be incorrectly advising patients not to get COVID-19 vaccines.
Bissey, who owns a hair salon, has lost a lot of customers since her arrest and is taking antidepressants, Kramer said.
