@suellenhill8097 You posted a TOTAL LIE: ore than 1,000 people have been arrested for storming the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, with charges ranging from obstruction of an official proceeding to assault. But 26 months after the attempted insurrection, a significant number of rioters are still awaiting their sentencing.
Around 42% of those arrested—420 individuals—have received criminal sentences, while the rest are waiting for their trials or haven’t yet reached plea agreements. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, 220 defendants were sentenced to periods of incarceration, with longer prison terms for those who engaged in violence or threats. So far, the median prison sentence for the Jan. 6 rioters is 60 days, according to TIME’s calculation of the public records. An additional 100 rioters have been sentenced to periods of home detention, while most sentences have included fines, community service and probation for low-level offenses like illegally parading or demonstrating in the Capitol, which is a misdemeanor.
Hundreds of additional cases are expected to be adjudicated in the coming months, with a number of sentencing hearings already on the calendar this spring. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is still looking for more than 260 individuals believed to have committed violent acts on the Capitol grounds.
