Emily Hernandez, a Missouri woman pardoned by Donald Trump for her role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for a 2022 drunk driving crash that killed Victoria Wilson and seriously injured her husband.
A Missouri woman convicted in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and recently pardoned by President Donald Trump was sentenced to 10 years this week for killing a mother of two in a drunken-driving crash. Emily Hernandez was seen holding the broken nameplate of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., after the mob of Trump supporters attacked the Capitol in 2021. She served 30 days in federal prison and was released.
Ryan Wilson was hurt and sustained a disabling injury to his right foot, court documents say. Hernandez’ blood-alcohol content was recorded at 0.125, records show. Hernandez’s defense attorneys argued in a sentencing memorandum for a sentence of 120 days, or around four months, saying she acknowledged that she killed someone and was ashamed of her actions. “Emily’s emotional make-up will forever contain feelings of remorse, grief, sadness and shame,” her attorneys wrote.
