Multiple Sentences Handed Down in Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Case.
TL;DR
Former Capitol Police officer Michael A. Riley was sentenced to 120 days of home detention and two years of probation for obstruction of justice in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection case. Riley had messaged with a rioter from the insurrection and deleted those messages when he learned he was being investigated. He was the only Capitol Police officer to face a criminal charge related to Jan. 6. Riley's lawyer cited his spotless career with Capitol Police as a reason for probation, while prosecutors asked for 27 months in prison.
