Proud Boy Dominic Pezzola sentenced to 10 years in prison for Capitol riot role
A federal judge on Friday sentenced a member of the far-right Proud Boys who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in a failed bid by then-President Donald Trump’s supporters to block Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s election victory, to 10 years in prison.
Dominic Pezzola did not play a leadership role in the group and was the only defendant of five to be acquitted of seditious conspiracy. He was convicted of other felonies, including obstructing an official proceeding and assaulting police.
“You personally played a significant role in the events that day,” U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly said. “It was a national disgrace, what happened.”
Kelly noted that Pezzola was a new member of the group and had been acquitted of seditious conspiracy, but also took note of Pezzola’s actions.
A second sentencing hearing for defendant Ethan Nordean, a leader of the group who was convicted of seditious conspiracy and other crimes, will take place later on Friday.
