California man Daniel Rodriguez was sentenced to 12 1/2 years in prison for attacking former police officer Michael Fanone with a taser and obstructing Congress during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. Rodriguez will also have to pay $96,000 for Fanone's medical treatment and $2,000 in restitution for the destruction of the Capitol. Prosecutors said Rodriguez was "one of the most violent defendants" and requested a 14-year sentence. Rodriguez's defense attorney blamed Trump for the riot and his client's conduct.
