A former New York police officer has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for his part in the violent storming of the US seat of Congress. It is the longest prison sentence that has been handed down in the case. Prosecutors accused the man of hitting one of the police officers who were trying to protect the site from a mob with a flagpole during the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. A video of the scene was shown during the trial.
After an inciting speech by the ousted Republican President Donald Trump, his supporters stormed the seat of Congress in Washington last year. They wanted to prevent the confirmation of the election victory of the Democrat Joe Biden. The attack killed five people and injured dozens. The attack on the heart of US democracy shook the country. Four police officers who were on duty there at the time later took their own lives.
After serving his ten-year sentence, federal judge Amit Mehta ordered the convict to serve a three-year probation period in his verdict on Thursday. He also allowed the ex-police officer not to begin his detention immediately, but at a later date. Federal prosecutors had asked for 17 years and six months in prison for the former police officer.
The 56-year-old was the first defendant in the Capitol storm case to plead self-defense in court. He was only defending himself when he told Washington DC police officers attacked and ripped his gas mask off his face. However, the jury rejected this argument.
For Trump, months later, the events were still a rally of peaceful supporters, as he announced on his home broadcaster Fox News. When asked to describe the events at the time that brought him an ultimately failed impeachment trial, Trump replied that more than a million people attended the rally that day because "they felt the election was rigged." He described the participants as "peaceful" and "great" people. There was love in the air, he had never experienced anything like it. ("The love in the air, I've never seen anything like this.")
