Former Michigan GOP gubernatorial candidate sentenced to 60 days in prison for Capitol riot involvement

Former Michigan gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelley has been sentenced to 60 days in prison for his involvement in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. While the judge acknowledged that Kelley was not the most culpable defendant, he emphasized the need for deterrence due to Kelley's strong public following. Kelley pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of entering a restricted building or grounds and was found to have used his public platform to spread false claims about the attack. Kelley stated that he was misled on January 6 but took responsibility for his actions. The judge expressed hope to not see Kelley in court again.
