The 23-year-old had been charged with stealing a laptop from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office, entering a restricted building and other related offenses, as Daily Voice has previously reported.

Over a year ago, Oct. 19, 2021, Williams pleaded not guilty to all eight charges, but she was found guilty on six charges in connection with the theft of the Speaker of the House’s laptop among other charges in connection with the inseccertion, on Nov. 21, 2022, according to court documents and multiple media outlets. 

The jury could not come to a consensus on whether or not she "aided and abetted in the theft" of the laptop or if she "obstructed the certification of the presidential election," according to Scott MacFarlane, a CBS correspondent.

And previously disputed evidence about her role in stealing a gavel and hardrive from Nancy Pelosi's office is now being permitted, according to court documents. 

Judge Amy Jackson ruled Williams will go to jail under the custody of the U.S. Marshals until her sentencing on Feb. 22, according to MacFarlane.

Notably, Williams was previously only under house arrest and despite multiple terms violations, she was permitted to go to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, not once but twice, as Daily Voice reported at the time.
