Proud Boys Leader Sentenced Today in Jan. 6 Attack Case

Enrique Tarrio, former leader of the Proud Boys, is set to be sentenced today for his role in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Prosecutors are seeking a 33-year prison sentence for Tarrio, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy. The government has applied a "terrorism enhancement" to the sentencing, which could result in longer prison terms. Tarrio's codefendants, Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola, will also be sentenced this week. The prosecutors argue that Tarrio and his fellow Proud Boys were "foot soldiers of the right" who aimed to keep former President Donald Trump in power.

"Proud Boys Leaders Face Stiffest Sentence Yet: 33 Years"

Federal prosecutors have recommended that two top leaders of the far-right Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio and Joseph Biggs, be sentenced to 33 years in prison for their involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, the harshest penalties requested so far in the investigation. The prosecutors also asked for lengthy prison terms for three other defendants in the case. They argued that the defendants understood the gravity of their actions and aimed to exert their political will through force, attempting to overturn the results of a democratic election. The prosecutors requested a terrorism enhancement to increase the severity of the sentences.

Florida Vocal Coach Sentenced to 6 Years for Capitol Riot Assault

Audrey Ann Southard-Rumsey, a vocal coach from Florida, has been sentenced to six years in prison for physically attacking police during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. She delivered a rambling diatribe in court, expressing her grievances and claiming that her life had been ruined because of differing political views. Southard-Rumsey was found guilty on seven felony charges, including assaulting law enforcement and civil disorder. The judge added a terrorism enhancement to meet the requested sentence of 72 months, despite typically handing out shorter sentences to Jan. 6 defendants.
