Jan. 6 Rioters and Accomplices Sentenced for Capitol Attack
Michael Riley, a 25-year veteran of the Capitol Police, was sentenced to 120 days of home incarceration for obstructing justice by trying to help a Jan. 6 rioter avoid detection from law enforcement. Despite his remorse, the judge criticized Riley for his dishonesty and misrepresentations. Prosecutors had initially sought a sentence of 27 months in prison. Riley is suffering from an undisclosed autoimmune illness that requires complicated treatments, and he is permitted to leave his home for medical reasons.
