Nordean, a one-time leader in far-right extremist group is jailed for his role in January 6 riot at Capitol, tying record for longest sentence in attack.
A US judge has sentenced Ethan Nordean, a leader of the far-right Proud Boys, to 18 years in prison for his role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, after a jury convicted him of seditious conspiracy and other crimes.Earlier on Friday, a member of Proud Boys yelled"Trump won" as he left a Washington courtroom after being sentenced to 10 years in prison for his role in the attack on Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump.
"You personally played a significant role in the events that day," US District Judge Timothy Kelly said, before handing down a sentence that was about half the length of what prosecutors had sought."It was a national disgrace, what happened." Five people including a police officer died during or shortly after the riot and more than 140 police officers were injured. The Capitol suffered millions of dollars in damage.
