Top from last 48 hrs Capitol rioter to serve 8 months in prison in first felony sentencing from January 6. ABC News (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 77% • 5 min read Paul Hodgkins, 38, who joined in the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol will serve eight months in prison with 24 months of supervised release. Washington, D.C., district judge Randolph Moss said that Hodgkins, who was seen in videos entering the Senate chamber and taking selfies, appeared "prepared for conflict" as he joined the pro-Trump mob. ... Moss sought to make clear that his sentencing was reflective of Hodgkins' actions alone and should not be seen as applying to what other similarly-charged defendants might face with guilty convictions. ... Still, the punishment creates a new benchmark for attorneys defending the hundreds of other alleged rioters not charged with violent crimes, who are weighing whether to engage in plea agreements with the government. The Justice Department had asked for Hodgkins to be sentenced to 18 months in prison, while his attorneys had asked that he be released without any prison sentence.
