Trial begins for Falcon woman who says she carried God inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 [View all]

Mar 26, 2024 Updated 22 mins ago

Ten minutes spent on the afternoon of Jan. 6, 2021, on what she considers a God-directed mission, could cost 71-year-old Falcon resident Rebecca Lavrenz up to a year in prison and fines of more than $200,000.

“It was a patriotic, joyful time to be around so many people who love their country,” she said. “I felt a strong presence of the spirt of God fall over me, and I started crying.”

>
“I felt God’s presence in me and just made my presence known to let Congress know we the people voted them in office, and we were saying you need to listen to what we’re saying.”

>
“I didn’t get into this for myself, I was there to stand up for my country,” she said. “I asked God if I did something wrong, if I needed to repent, and God said, ‘No, you went there to make my presence known and to pray.’

God told her that she did nothing wrong.

Ooops. Lavrenz refused a plea deal the prosecution offered last year. Now it looks like jail time for Gramma.
