A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday sentenced two North Shore brothers to six months of probation, including 60 days on home detention, for illegally entering the U.S. Capitol.
Supporters of then-President Donald Trump at the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021.
In rejecting jail time, U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan said the conduct that Christian Kulas and his older brother, Mark Kulas Jr., engaged in was “somewhat minimal from other rioters” who attacked police, damaged property or otherwise tried to disrupt the government that day.
According to a statement of offense, the brothers flew from Illinois to Washington the day before the attack. They attended the Trump rally, then marched to the Capitol building. Both wore hats with Trump’s political slogans.
