Capitol rioter, Bruno Joseph Cua, 18, is begging a judge to allow him to go home to his parents after he was denied bail last month.
On Thursday, Cua begged U.S. District Court Judge Randolph D. Moss to allow him go home to his family while he awaits trial, set to begin May 10.
“I will never be the same person, jail has had its full effect me (sic), I am completely humbled, deeply remoursefull (sic) and regretful!” he wrote in a letter obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “After all, thats (sic) what jail is for right? Teaching people a lesson? Lesson fully received, your Honor.”
“All I ask is that you please allow me to be reunited with my loving family so we can figure out the next steps before I stand trial. I promise I will not step one foot out of line, I miss my family more than anything in the world, I have never been away from them like this,” Cua wrote, adding “I just want to go home to my Mom and Dad, I am truly sorry.”
His parents were the ones who drove him to Washington from Atlanta on Jan. 6 to attend Donald Trump’s ‘Stop the Steal’ rally.
Prosecutors say Cua assaulted an officer and made it all the way to the Senate floor. He was also caught on video carrying a baton throughout the Capitol.
According to the Justice Department, he has been charged with assaulting a Federal Officer; civil disorder; Obstruction of an Official Proceeding; Entering a Restricted Building or Grounds; Enter or remain on the floor or gallery of either House of Congress, Violent Entry or Disorderly Conduct, Engage in physical violence, Obstruct, or impede passage, and parade, demonstrate, or picket on Capitol Grounds.
He is the youngest out of 300 people charged in connection with the deadly riot.
