Riley June Williams will have the next three years to contemplate her life choices.
If federal prosecutors had gotten their way, the Nick Fuentes fangirl would have received seven years behind bars for breaching the U.S. Capitol Building during a chaotic riot when a joint session was Congress was supposed to be certifying the 2020 Electoral College vote.
The government argued that Williams, then 22, aided and abetted the theft of Nancy Pelosi's laptop after she entered the California Democrat's office with other rioters.
A jury convicted Williams on six counts but was deadlocked on the charge of โaiding and abettingโ in the laptop's theft.
They also deadlocked on the charge of โobstructing an official proceeding,โ a violation supporters say lends credence to the argument that what happened that day was an insurrection.
As TheBlaze reports:
U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced Riley Williams to three years in prison for her role in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
Jacksonย saidย of Williams, โShe was there to stop the election, not because her dizzy little head was confused about which building in Washington was which or why she was there.โ
The federal judge accused Williams of โhand-picking the people who had the proper gearโ to be a frontline offense against police. Jackson said Williams was โnot just a little waif blowing in the wind.โ
Before being sentenced, Williams apologized, โI was disrespectful, hateful โฆ toward innocent people who didn't deserve it.โ Williams โ who was 22 years old at the time โ confessed that she was a โstupid girlโ during theย Capitol riotย but is now a โresponsible womanโ who accepts her guilt. She blamed a lifelong internet addiction for fueling her actions, but has since โfound peace in a quiet life.โ
Her defense attorney argued that she was susceptible to the influence of powerful figures like then-President Donald Trump.

What a crock of BS
rapists don’t get 3 years in blue cities
Should have been sentenced to the full 7 years. The January 6 riot was a disgrace to our country. We are supposed to be a civilized nation.
Yes, anything the left does is fine , anything the right does is bad. It is that simple for you.
