Capitol rioter with ties to White supremacist gang pleads guilty and is sentenced to 6 months in jail with credit for time served
(CNN)A US Capitol rioter who joined a white supremacist gang while in prison for attempted murder pleaded guilty Monday to a misdemeanor related to the January 6 insurrection.
The rioter, Michael Curzio, was sentenced to six months in jail but will be released Wednesday because he has been in jail since mid-January and will receive credit for time already served.
"Mr. Curzio should be sentenced to the six-month statutory maximum," federal Judge Carl Nichols said at a hearing. "I am not in a position to be able to impose a longer sentence than that. I think that six-month sentence is appropriate here. Mr. Curzio will have, in two days, served that entire sentence."

I am not optimistic that those involved in killing the officer will even be charged.

Won't be easy to prosecute a murder with a Death Certificate that says "Natural Causes"

although any rational person would believe that he'd be alive today if it weren't for 1/6.

Trying to subvert Democracy is worth 3 years. Otherwise you will promote future insurrection.

The majority of BLM protestors had done a bit for attempted murder.

(54,770 posts)7. This white supremacist deserved longer than that. But, that's kind of how
sentences work nowadays. I guess its good in the context of rehabilitation
I know the count he accepted carried a max sentence of 6 months. trump will have him at next rally.
