The sentencing of Dominic Pezzola and Ethan Nordean follows a judge ordering Joseph Biggs and Zachary Rehl to serve 17 years and 15 years in prison
The sentences for Biggs and Rehl were far less than the 33-year and 30-year terms sought by federal prosecutors.Although Pezzola was found not guilty of sedition, prosecutors said his assault on former Capitol Police Officer Mark Ode, in which he stole Ode’s riot shield and used it to smash at a window at the Capitol, helps to justify a lengthy prison term.
Pezzola’s attorneys are asking for their client to be sentenced to around five years in prison, and said in their sentencing memo that he has already served about three years in jail awaiting trial. “Nordean walked in and out of the Capitol like hundreds of Class B misdemeanants,” Smith wrote. “When the government does distinguish Nordean’s actions from any other January 6 defendant’s, it relies on characterization, not facts.”
