Those aren't crimes though. Dude should get a sentence reflecting what he did, not reflecting his right to say political figures (and judges and prosecutors absolutely are) are fuckwits
Contempt of court is a crime. Also I like how you lumped the judicial and executive branches into "political figures" like there isn't a constitutional difference.
They're often elected. And it doesn't seem to mention a contempt of court charge
I don't know the difference and what does contempt mean?
I think the article makes it seem different than it is.
He was going to get a lighter sentence because he was showing remorse by playing guilty. Then his behavior between the plea and the sentencing showed that he wasn't actually remorseful, so they go back to what they would have sentenced him.
It's like if you get offered a discount on a bill if you pay early, then you pay late instead and have to pay the full amount. They aren't charging you more, they're just not offering the early discount because you didn't hold your end of the bargain up.
So, he's getting the sentence he deserved without credit for showing that he knows what he did was wrong.
Lesson for other defendants: the time to return to being an asshole is after everything has been settled.
He's still getting less than four months. It should be a lot worse to reflect the severity of what he did.
Article doesn't really say what he did, but the prosecutors only asked for twenty one days so probably fuck all
Why are you calling other people in this thread dumb for not reading the article when you haven't done the most basic amount of looking into it yourself?
Here is the sentencing memorandum from June (a few weeks prior to his sovcit outburst mentioned in the article, if I'm reading correctly) where the 21 day sentence was initially requested. It's reachable in two clicks from the article, and it describes in excruciating detail all of his participation in Jan 6, as well as the broader context around his social media posts.
He pleaded guilty to one of the four counts he was originally charged with, and the AP notes that over 400 Jan 6th defendants have done the same. It's unclear from the filing whether a plea agreement was offered; I would guess that it was, and that this is probably an effort to reduce the overall burden on the court system, because a) there are over 1200 individuals charges with crimes in connection with the events of Jan 6, and b) there is plenty of damning video evidence of most of it.
They got enough judges to throw black kids in jail for weed but not for Jan6 rioters lmao
Gee, what a mystery why I'd return an insult in kind. You must be as brilliant as the other guy

Brilliance personified.
