Thornley, who is also representing Gionet in the Scottsdale case, wrote that he believed Gionet would be found not guilty of those charges.
"Aside from the Scottsdale pending charges, Mr. Gionet has led an exemplary life and avoids conflicts with the law," he told the court.
To support this, the court filing cites a 2016 music video made by Gionet entitled "We Love Our Cops" that it notes has been viewed "tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of times on youtube." It also asserts that Gionet "has long been a member of the press." His "press" history includes live-streaming events like marching in Charlottesville and pepper-spraying people he antagonizes for his fans' entertainment.
