A Virginia man who testified he had “fun” at the U.S. Capitol riot has been sentenced to six years in prison for attacking police as he stormed the building
prison sentence is significantly lower than the punishment that prosecutors sought for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. The Justice Department had recommended a prison sentence of 15 years and eight months for Maly, a flooring installer.
"It's not that you were there and ‘occupying space.’ It's that you did these things and kept doing them that day,” the judge told him. The judge declined to impose a fine. He said Maly's fundraising activities may have been “unseemly,” but he questioned whether there was a legal basis for clawing back the money.
