Subscribe to. A Florida man was sentenced to 8 months in prison by a federal court today, making him the first person to be sentenced for a felony in connection with the storming of the U.S. Capitol.
Prosecutors dropped the lesser charges against him since the obstruction charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. During his sentencing hearing, Hodgkins reportedly gave a statement acknowledging Biden as President of the United States, and he also offered his regret for his conduct at the U.S. Capitol.
U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss acknowledged Hodgkins’ remorse while handing down his sentence, though according to CNN, the judge made a point noting that the events of January 6th will have dramatic consequences for the country.
The hearing designates Hodgkins as the first person to be sentenced for a felony for the Capitol riot, so it’s possible his case will set a benchmark for criminal cases of others who were involved in the mob. Watch above, via CNN.
