‘Like a modern day Nazi judge’: Jan. 6 rioter wants to delay sentence to ‘fun’ prison and remain in ‘filthy’ jail until Supreme Court resolves obstruction drama – By Marisa Sarnoff (Law & Crime) / Jan 18, 2024
A New York man convicted of a felony in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol wants to delay his sentencing, despite the fact that he thinks prison is “awesome and very fun!”
Brandon Fellows was convicted by a jury in August of one felony and four misdemeanors in connection with the Jan. 6 siege on the U.S. Capitol, when a mob of Donald Trump supporters overwhelmed law enforcement and breached the building as Congress was set to certify Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral win. Jurors determined that Fellows engaged in obstruction of an official proceeding, which carries a potential 20-year statutory maximum, and four trespassing and disorderly conduct misdemeanors.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on March 1, and prosecutors are seeking a sentence of just over three years in prison.
