<ul class="summary-list"><li>An accused Capitol rioter rejected the justice system's authority during his first court appearance.</li><li>James Beeks was arrested earlier this month in connection to the January 6 attack.</li></ul><p>One of the more bizarre January 6 cases delved further into the peculiar when an accused Capitol rioter who was arrested while touring in a Broadway production of "<keyword id="12599600" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="jesus-christ-superstar" source="Orion">Jesus Christ Superstar</keyword>" earlier this month attended his first court hearing on Monday.</p><p><a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/florida-man-arrested-charges-related-jan-6-capitol-breach">James Beeks</a>, an actor who was playing Judas in the musical production, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jesus-christ-superstar-actor-charged-capitol-riot-oath-keeper-2021-11">was arrested in Milwaukee last week on charges related to the Capitol riot</a> after investigators attended two performances of the show to find him.</p><p><a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/press-release/file/1451311/download">Prosecutors said</a> the 49-year-old introduced himself to a group of Oath Keepers two weeks before the insurrection and joined them on the morning of January 6, where he donned a Michael Jackson tour jacket and carried a shield into the Capitol as part of a dozen Oath Keepers who were among some of the first to breach the building.</p><p>Appearing in court for the first time Monday, Beeks narrowly avoided pretrial detainment after he claimed "divine authority" in an attempt to reject the United States' authority over him.</p><p>The actor's antics irritated Chief Judge Beryl Howell of the U.S. District Court in Washington, DC, when he declined to represent himself, saying, "I cannot represent myself because I am myself. I reserve all rights at all times and waive none, ever," according to <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/29/judge-jan-6-defendant-broadway-actor-523447">Politico</a>. </p><p>The judge had little patience for his conspiracy theory musings.</p><p>"That's all gobbledygook. I have no idea what you're saying," Howell reportedly responded.</p><p>Howell claimed that Beeks' refusal to acknowledge the US justice system, as well as two affidavits he attempted to submit to the court, suggested the actor subscribed to a "<keyword id="12635750" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="sovereign-citizen" source="Orion">sovereign citizen</keyword>" theory, though Beeks rejected the characterization. </p><p>Subscribers to the pseudoscience movement believe that "they — not judges, juries, law enforcement or elected officials — should decide which laws to obey and which to ignore," according to <a href="https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/ideology/sovereign-citizens-movement">the Southern Poverty Law Center</a>. The movement has racist and antisemitic roots and is predicated upon a decades-old conspiracy theory that posits the US government's legal system, known as common law, was secretly replaced by admiralty law, which governs the sea and international commerce, the SPLC said. </p><p>"I'm not a sovereign citizen. There's no such thing. That's an oxymoron and it's even an insult," he said in court, according to Politico.</p><p>Despite initially telling the courtroom he would not represent himself, the actor spoke on his own behalf for the majority of the hearing, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/29/politics/january-6-jesus-christ-superstar-sovereign-citizen/index.html">CNN.</a> </p><p>Ahead of Monday's hearing, federal prosecutors did not ask that Beeks be kept in jail, but his outbursts changed that mid-hearing, the outlet reported. Assistant US Attorney Jeffrey Nestler, acknowledging Beeks' refusal to accept the court's authority, said in court on Monday that he would, in fact, request pretrial detention for the defendant.</p><p>"A defendant who rejects the jurisdiction of the court...rejects the rule of law," Howell reportedly said, "is typically not released pre-trial."</p><p>The judge, however, did eventually decide to release Beeks with several conditions, including a GPS monitoring requirement and a curfew, after a public defender spoke privately with the actor in an attempt to convince him to accept the terms of a pretrial release, according to CNN. </p><p>Michelle Peterson, the public defender representing Beeks during Monday's hearing, did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. </p><p>Beeks is the second accused Capitol rioter to make claims of divine authority. In July, Pennsylvania pizzeria owner <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/capitol-riot-defendant-who-threatened-nancy-pelosi-rejects-lawyer-2021-7">Pauline Bauer made a similar appeal</a>, claiming special legal privileges as a "self-governed individual." She was sent to jail in September after she refused to follow basic release conditions. </p><p><a href="https://www.insider.com/all-the-us-capitol-pro-trump-riot-arrests-charges-names-2021-1">More than 700 people have been arrested</a> in connection with the <keyword id="11907536" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="capitol-riot" source="Orion">Capitol riot</keyword> thus far. <a href="https://www.insider.com/capitol-rioters-who-pleaded-guilty-updated-list-2021-5">129 have pleaded guilty.</a></p>

(On Monday, it released the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/netflix-released-first-the-crown-image-of-the-olivia-colman-as-queen-elizabeth-ii-2018-7">first image of Olivia Colman</a> as her sister, Queen Elizabeth II.)</p><p>Netflix revealed the first image of Bonham Cater in a tweet on its official Twitter account for "The Crown":</p><p>&#xa0;</p><p>In the image, Princess Margaret is looking fabulous while smoking a cigarette (as usual). Princess Margaret still remains on of the most stylish royals in history, and the image captures the new decade, as she's wearing a winged eyeliner, a make-up trend that became popular in the 60s, which is very different from how Vanessa Kirby was styled in the first two seasons as the same character.</p><p>Bonham Carter is a two-time Oscar nominee. One of her nominations was for best supporting actress in "The King's Speech," in which she played the Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret's mother.&#xa0;</p><p>Shortly after posting the image of Bonham Carter, the Twitter account shared its first image of Ben Daniels as Antony Armstrong-Jones, a photographer Princess Margaret's husband, played by Matthew Goode in season two.&#xa0;</p><p>Daniels has starred in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," "House of Cards," and recently played Pontius Pilate in NBC's live musical, "Jesus Christ Superstar."</p><p><span>The third season will star a handful of other veteran British actors. Playing Prince Philip is Tobias Menzies from "Game of Thrones" and more recently, AMC's "The Terror." Stay tuned, because hopefully Menzies as Prince Philip is the next image Netflix releases.&#xa0;</span></p><p><span>"The Crown" season three is expected to come to Netflix in 2019.&#xa0;</span></p><div></div><div></div>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/how-creepy-models-houses-were-made-in-hereditary-movie-toni-collette-2018-6">How the creepy models were made in 'Hereditary'</a></h3>        <div>                    </div>    </div></hr>
