Rehl's sentencing hearing — scheduled for Thursday in a courtroom just blocks from the Capitol building — is one of the most significant so far in the Jan. 6 probe. Prosecutors are seeking 30 years.
WASHINGTON — Zach Rehl, the head of the Philadelphia chapter of the Proud Boys, faces sentencing Thursday for his role in orchestrating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol., one of the longest suggested sentences so far for any of the hundreds of people charged in connection with the riot.convicted in May on seditious conspiracy and related charges
Prosecutors say Rehl and the others spent weeks organizing after former President Donald Trump called on his supporters to rally in Washington the day Congress was scheduled to certify electoral votes in the 2020 presidential election. Without the so-called “terrorism enhancement,” those guidelines call for a sentence of roughly 10 to 14 years. With it, that figure is nearly doubled.
Pattis maintains that Rehl firmly, if incorrectly, believed that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and that he was protecting democracy by organizing the Proud Boys to protest on Jan. 6.
