TL;DR Summary

Police officers and public servants who defended the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and fled the mob's attack told a judge they are still haunted by what they endured, as the judge prepares to hand down sentences in a landmark Capitol riot case. Prosecutors are seeking 25 years behind bars for Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, which would be the longest sentence by far handed down among hundreds of Capitol riot cases. Rhodes was convicted of seditious conspiracy in November alongside Florida chapter leader Kelly Meggs after prosecutors spent weeks making the case that Rhodes and his extremist group followers had plotted an armed rebellion to keep Biden, a Democrat, out of the White House in favor of Trump, a Republican.
