Julian Khater pleaded guilty to two felony counts of assaulting, resisting or impeding officers with a dangerous weapon in a D.C. court last September.
They attended former President Donald Trump's rally at the Ellipse and then marched to the Capitol building, where they joined the mob.
Officer Caroline Edwards, who was sprayed at the same time as Sicknick, said he turned"ghostly pale." She went on to explain that she couldn't help him because she was temporarily blinded from the chemical spray, and as a result continues to struggle with survivor's guilt. Khater and Tanios were arrested in March 2021 and both pleaded guilty to the charges brought against them. Tanios was sentenced Friday to time served.Khater's lawyers noted that Sicknick died of natural causes on Jan. 7, 2021, and argued that the defendant wasn't responsible either directly or indirectly for the officer's death.
