"January 6 Rioter Receives 2-Year Prison Sentence for Police Shooting"
Joshua Matthew Black, a Capitol rioter from Alabama who was shot in the face by police, has been sentenced to 22 months in prison followed by two years of supervised release. Black invaded Congress with a knife on his hip, rummaging through Ted Cruz’s desk while the Texas senator hid in a closet. Prosecutors recommended a five-year prison sentence for Black, who was convicted of five charges, including three felonies, after trial testimony was given without a jury. More than 1,000 people have been charged with Capitol riot-related crimes, and roughly 500 have been sentenced to imprisonment ranging from seven days to more than 14 years.
