The first man to stand trial for his role in last year's insurrection at the U.S. Capitol will be sentenced on Monday in federal court in Washington, D.C.

Guy Wesley Reffitt, 49, of Wylie, Texas, was convicted by a federal jury in March of five felony counts, including obstruction of justice as well as entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a firearm.
Federal prosecutors with the U.S. Department of Justice have asked that Reffitt be sentenced to 15 years in prison, which would be by far the longest sentence handed down to a Capitol riot defendant. Prosecutors have also -- for the first time -- asked a federal district court judge to apply a terrorism enhancement, which would effectively define under law that a rioter's actions amounted to domestic terrorism.

Guy Reffitt was the first one to choose a jury trial instead of accepting a plea deal.

Guy Reffitt was found guilty of:
  • Civil Disorder (2 counts)
  • Obstruction of an Official Proceeding and Aiding and Abetting
  • Entering and remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds with a Deadly or Dangerous Weapon
  • Obstruction of Justice -- Hindering Communication Through Physical Force or Threat of Physical Force


This is the guy who threatened to shoot his family if they reported him to the FBI. His son reported him any way. Not sure what time his sentence will be given, but I'll update the topic once the news comes out.

Here's what I don't get. They are getting felony charges for their actions. How many people died during this thing? And what's the thing about someone dying while you are in the midst of committing a felony?

The DoJ has been going very light on the vast majority of the rioters for some reason. Many people who were charged with felonies were given plea deals where they only plead guilty to misdemeanor charges.

They seem to be giving more serious charges to people like Guy Reffitt and the extremist groups who planned for violence together like the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys.

Sentence hasn't been passed yet, but the judge has reportedly rejected the terrorism sentencing enhancement., which is not a good sign.

https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/01/jan-6-terrorism-sentencing-penalty-00048922

U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich said applying the sentencing enhancement to Guy Reffitt, 49, would create an unwarranted sentencing disparity with other cases involving similar threats or conduct related to the Capitol riot.

Just realized that the judge in this case is also a Trump appointee, because of course.

Every person Trump appointed should be removed, especially when they're passing judgment on Trump terrorists.

The man literally staged a coup live on television for the whole world to see. They revisit past police cases when cops go bad, it should be the same here. Everything Trump did while in office should be scrutinized.
