CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Federal prosecutors argued that a North Carolina man should be sent to prison for almost five years as punishment for his crimes during the riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Instead, a Washington, D.C., judge sent Matthew Wood home.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta sentenced Wood, 25, to one year of home confinement and three years of probation — a clear rejection of the government’s recommended 57 months.
