Some notable stories about Jan 6 riot cases, now more than 30 months later

I continue to keep an eye on a number of January 6 riot prosecutions because, though Jan 6 was a unique moment of lawbreaking, the subsequent prosecutions continue to provide high-profile lessons for deepening our understanding of many aspects of our federal criminal justice system.  Against that backdrop, I have seen in recent days a number of intriguing new Jan 6 prosecution and sentencing stories that seemed worth rounding up here:

From the AP, “Rioter who hurled bow like a spear at police during Jan. 6 attack gets more than 7 years in prison“

From BBC News, “The ‘QAnon Shaman’ and other Capitol rioters who regret pleading guilty“

From CBS News, “After courtroom outburst, Florida music teacher sentenced to 6 years in prison for Jan. 6 felonies“

From Courthouse News Service, “In rare move, federal judge acquits Jan. 6 defendant“

From The Hill, “Legal experts see strong potential for Trump charges in Jan. 6 probe“

From Insider, “QAnon Shaman, who pleaded guilty and made a heartfelt apology in Jan. 6 case, has changed his mind and wants his plea reversed“

From NBC News, “‘Idiot’ Jan. 6 rioter who stole John Lewis photo from Nancy Pelosi’s office gets 4 years“
