rosecutors are seeking a 17-year sentence for Arizona resident Edward Vallejo, one of nine members of the Oath Keepers who were convicted of seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
The Oath Keepers could be sentenced as early as Thursday, a day after emotional testimony in U.S. District Court in Washington by police officers who were assaulted that day. The officers spoke of rioters who “called us traitors” and spit on, beat and attacked them with mace, bear spray and other weapons.
Thousands of Trump supporters attended a rally that day on the National Mall where he repeated his claims of election fraud and told the crowd that if they didn’t “fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.” Owens told the court that he would never forget the tears in his daughter’s eyes the next morning as he downplayed his experience, or the way his wife cried as she saw how bloody and bruised he was under his uniform. He said he could not forgive the Oath Keepers for the trauma they caused his family and asked the judge to hand down the maximum sentence.
The 17-year sentence that prosecutors are seeking for Vallejo falls in the middle of the range sought for the Oath Keepers, who face 10 years up to 25 for Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the group. In their sentencing report, prosecutors said the Oath Keepers “are unlike any of the hundreds of others who have been sentenced for their roles in the attack on the Capitol. Each defendant therefore deserves a significant sentence of incarceration.”
