| 2021-11-11 |
| [CBSnews] The first Capitol riot defendant to plead guilty to assaulting an officer has been sentenced to 41 months in prison by Senior Judge Royce C. Lamberth of the DC US District Court. Judge Royce Lamberth sentenced ex-MMA fighter Scott Fairlamb, 44, to approximately three and a half years in prison and three years probation for assaulting an officer while he was part of the violent mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6 in support of former President Trump. Compare that to the 30-day sentence given Rene Boucher by a US district judge for the Western KY US District court, for Boucher's guilty plea, re: his assault on US Sen. Rand Paul, giving Paul a critical and lasting injury. Prosecutors appealed that sentence & Boucher was later re-sentenced for a total of 8 months in prison. |
