A California man who drove a stun gun into a police officer's neck during one of the most violent clashes of the US Capitol riot was sentenced on Wednesday to more than 12 years in prison.
Daniel “D.J.” Rodriguez yelled, “Trump won!” as he was led out of the courtroom where US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced him to 12 years and seven months behind bars for his role in the Jan 6, 2021, attack. Only two other Jan 6 defendants have received longer prison terms so far after hundreds of sentencings for Capitol riot cases.
