14. Let me see if I got this right

The dude is violent on January 6, 2021, hurts cops, is convicted, is awaiting sentencing in April, apparently is free to do what he wants until then … and so starts plotting to blow up the Knoxville FBI office? And now he’s waiting to be sentenced in May for that. Is this psycho still walking around free all this time?
