WASHINGTON, D.C. - The wife of a U.S. Capitol riot suspect from South Jersey has asked a sentencing judge for mercy, saying the couple’s world was “turned on its head” by his arrest.

Marisa Panayiotou of Wrightstown also noted her own role in the prosecution of her husband, Marcos, who is to be sentenced Nov. 29.

“It was me who shared the video of Marcos walking around the Capitol Building and I admitted that to law enforcement,” she wrote in a letter to U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich in Washington, D.C.

“And it was my friends who contacted law enforcement to identify Marcos,” she added.

Panayiotou was arrested at the couple's home in December on charges arising from the Jan. 6, 2021, riot by supporters of then-President Donald Trump.

3. And any random black guy who just got convicted of a crime

Also had his life turned upside down by his conviction, but I can guarantee that you wanted the book thrown at him, you stupid traitor.

It seems like you right wing loons needed to watch Baretta back in the 70s or in reruns, so you could have heard this little ditty that applies here:

You won't get in trouble if you don't go looking for it. Welcome to reality, cupcake.

4. You made the REALLY wrong choice by going to there on J6

Drinking the koolaid isn't a defense.

5. 20 to life, I say! No mercy for these fools. Or, swing him from the highest yardarm!

[Happy Hoosier]

6. Maybe don't be a traitorous asshole?

No. No mercy. These people attempted to subvert a legal election. They are seditious criminals. Most are getting off far too light.
