The first person to be sentenced in connection with the riot at the Capitol — a 49-year-old woman from Indiana — will serve no time in prison after reaching an agreement with the government and pleading guilty on Wednesday to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge.
At an unusual hearing where she admitted guilt and was immediately sentenced by a judge, the woman, Anna Morgan-Lloyd, expressed remorse for her role in the attack of Jan. 6. She apologized to the court, her family and the “American people,” saying it was wrong to have entered the Capitol even though she hurt no one, broke nothing and was inside for only about 10 minutes.
Ms. Morgan-Lloyd said she had gone to Washington to hear former President Donald J. Trump speak and was “ashamed it became a savage display of violence.”
“I would have never been there if I had known it would turn out that way,” she added.
At the hearing, the presiding judge, Royce C. Lamberth, made scathing remarks from the bench attacking the handful of Republican politicians who have labeled the assault on the Capitol the work of mere tourists, calling that position “utter nonsense.”
“I don’t know what planet they’re on,” Judge Lamberth said. “Millions of people saw Jan. 6.”
Ms. Morgan-Lloyd’s light penalty, three years of probation, was not only the first punishment handed down against any of the nearly 500 people charged in the attack, but is also likely to serve as a bellwether for scores of other rioters who committed no violence on Jan. 6 and were accused of only minor crimes.

Welcome to post constitutional America
Did the CommieJudge and CommieDA make her wear a dunce cap too?
Paid off and/or leaned on.
Is there any need to ask what “group” she represents?
Squeezing these kind of admissions from people in court is why they are going full tilt on prosecuting these people.
Funny how Antifags always seem to have the charges dropped.
We have been post Constitutional since Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 when all of our elected and appointed threw out the Constitution so they could have a clean articulate black guy that was not a natural born citizen.
All of these people are being overcharged in the hopes of getting them to cop a plea to reduced charges.
They are going to put them or keep them in solitary until they plead guilty to some BS charge and then let them out. They will start doing interviews about how bad they were treated. Unless they have to sign something saying they won’t talk about it.
Indiana woman aka POW.
DA: “Here sign this statement and you will get no more prison time.”
Woman: “But I didn’t write that statement.”
DA: “Sign it or back to solitary.”
What the hell country do we live in!?!
Wait, now it’s a riot? What happened to “insurrection”?
The horrifying misdemeanors of the Velvet Rope Tourists...
FU, Stasi scumbags.
Did she get the Chain Gang ?
She’s a taxpayer. She had every right to be there.
Will we ever know the negotiations behind the scene?
The government wants convictions. The government wants examples to others as a warning. They're going to be pressuring everyone. How many people have the time, money, and stamina to fight the full weight of a government intent on making them kneel?
The purge started as soon as the dems took power. They are systematically eliminating their opponents.
This is political persecution. Note that rioters from last summer have not been charged.
So if you’re White, they will throw you in prison. Wearing a MAGA hat doubles the penalty. Waving a blm flag sets you free.
Welcome to the USA where the government that is in power hates the Constitution.
Waiting for Paul Harvey and the rest of the story.
