Jan. 6 Capitol rioter Riley Williams sentenced to 3 years in prison.

Jan. 6 defendant Riley Williams, who breached Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office and helped strategize ways for the mob to overcome police resistance, has been sentenced to 36 months in prison. Williams was convicted of civil disorder and resisting police but deadlocked on a charge that she obstructed Congress and abetted the theft of Pelosi's laptop. The defense team repeatedly urged the judge to treat Williams like an immature child who couldn't be responsible for her actions, but the judge rejected that effort, noting that Williams repeatedly and intentionally took steps to breach police lines and marshaled the mob to resist even further.
