Ex-Army Veteran Sentenced to 4 Years for Jan. 6 Police Assault
Edward Richmond Jr., a former Army veteran court-martialed for manslaughter in Iraq, was sentenced to over four years in prison for assaulting police with a baton during the January 6 Capitol riot. Richmond, who wore tactical gear and participated in the attack, pleaded guilty to assaulting officers. Prosecutors highlighted his history of violent offenses, including illegal possession of firearms. Richmond's attorneys argued for leniency, citing his role as a single father and productive citizen post-January 6. He will also serve three years of supervised release.
