He needs help. We can all agree with that.

Photos of Barnett during the January 6 riot at the Capitol became some of the most well-known images and he was arrested on January 8. Barnett, who pleaded not guilty to several charges he faces for the alleged role he played, has remained in custody since his arrest, and the prospect of spending another month in jail sent him over the edge.

"I've been here a long time," Barnett yelled during an appearance in court on Thursday. "Another month ... It's not fair ... You're letting everyone else out. I need help."

Barnett also expressed frustration that people who "did much worse things" were "already home." Judge Christopher R. Cooper paused the hearing so Barnett, who phoned in from jail, could confer with his attorneys. Joseph McBride, the lead attorney for his case, told Newsweek Barnett was "understandably" frustrated when the judge told him the next status hearing wouldn't be until May 4. That hearing is related to the purpose of discovery, but Steven Metcalf, Barnett's co-counsel, said their client thought that meant his bond would not be addressed for another month.
