On the final day of federal court proceedings before Donald Trump's presidency concludes, a judge addressed a defendant who admitted to disorderly conduct during the January 6 Capitol riot. The judge, Tanya Chutkan, indicated that this case might be the last Capitol rioter sentencing she oversees, depending on external circumstances.
The defendant, Brian Leo Kelly, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and trespassing inside the Capitol. Judge Chutkan sentenced Kelly to 10 days in jail, along with probation, community service, and a restitution payment. She allowed him to leave the courtroom with the option to surrender voluntarily at a later date, unless he receives a pardon.
