He also pepper sprayed a cop and lied about it while under oath, that increased his sentence a lot. Perjury is a crime, for better or worse. I also think it should be noted that the Trump-appointed judge has been cutting sentences in half - prosecutors were regularly asking for 25+, and Kelly said something like "I don't think I'll ever cut 10-15 years off a sentence again". For some of these people who let's face it, were not the youngest of men, that 10-15 years is the difference that means actually having a life to lead after jail.
Uh, that's of course assuming Trump doesn't just pardon everyone immediately, of course, but IMO it's good that the sentences were reduced so drastically just in case. Multiple angles, etc.
I hope these patriots are all filthy rich when this bullshit is over!!!
