Accused Pelosi laptop thief wants off house arrest to visit Pa. Renaissance Faire
A Mechanicsburg woman accused of stealing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s laptop during the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol wants to be let out of house arrest to visit the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire this weekend, according to court documents.
Riley Williams, 25, filed the request in federal court to be permitted to visit the annual event in Manheim.
Williams has remained confined to house arrest since January 21, 2021, with exceptions only for work, school, health treatment, attorney visits and court obligations.
Her filing was the second this week. Earlier in the week, Judge Amy Jackson denied Williams’ request to transfer her trial out of Washington, D.C. back to central Pennsylvania. Williams had claimed that a Washington, D.C. jury would be unable to render an impartial verdict compared to a Harrisburg jury.
“The defendant appears to know little about the city or its people, and she relies on a flawed survey and mere assumptions and generalizations about the jury pool,” Jackson said.

Excellent idea. 
.... transition of power as is dictated by the US Constitution, was part of violent mob
looking to kill the Speaker of the House & the Vice President, and over 1 1/2 years later
she is still living in her house, gets to go to school, and work? And now she wants to go to
some kind of Renaissance Fair to have fun?
