The Texas militia member who was the first to be convicted for the Jan. 6 Capitol attack was given a lighter sentence on Friday because of the Supreme Court's June ruling to narrow an obstruction charge that was used against 300 rioters.
Guy Wesley Reffitt, who is also a member of the Three Percenters, an American and Canadian far-right anti-government militia, was the first to go on trial and be convicted for his role in the Jan. 6 riot during which he and another militia member gathered body armor and weapons with the intention to forcibly remove Congress members from the Capitol, WUSA9 reported.
