Washington: A Michigan man who urged his social media followers to “take back our country” before the attack on US Capitol was sentenced to Wednesday for the time presented in pre-trial detention after appeting allegations of mild violations.
As part of his request agreement, Karl Dresch, 41, from the Peninsula on Michigan, agreed to be interviewed by researchers after the expected release from prison Wednesday or Thursday, his lawyer told a federal judge.
Dresch at least the fourth January 6.
The defendant was sentenced, after begging guilty on Wednesday to collect the show at the Capitol Building.
A federal official said that 28 defendants who faced allegations related to riots had entered a guilty request, with a punishment because most of them were still delayed.
More than 535 people faced charges arising from riots where supporters Donald Trump tried to block the congress from advancing the victory of President Joe Biden’s election.
Before the riots, Trump delivered a speech to supporters to repeat his pairs claim that the election was stolen from him through a widespread fraud of voting.
Amy Berman Jackson District Judge said Dresch had been detained in pre-trial detention for six months – maximum punishment for confidence on charges he fought guilty.
As part of the agreement of his request, prosecutors dropped four additional accusations including accusations of destructive witnesses.
“You can’t call for war because you don’t like the election results,” Jackson said.
General Jennifer Blackwell noted that Dresch posted several inflammatory social media posts that were encouraging the possibility of violence on January 6 but was not really involved in the violence in the 25 minutes he spent in the Capitol during the riots.
Judge Jackson said that “while the defendant was a big speaker, his actions did not match the retorik.”
