Riley Williams, found guilty of six crimes, had been accused in the theft of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s computer, but jurors deadlocked on that charge.
Nov. 21 in U.S. District Court in Washington, apologized at her sentencing for being “disrespectful, hateful and angry at innocent people” during the Jan. 6 mayhem. Back then, she said, she was “a young and stupid girl” who “was addicted to the internet” and believed lies by President Donald Trump and his supporters about Trump being denied reelection because of massive fraud.
“I look forward to putting this behavior behind me and restarting my life,” Williams said Thursday, referring to her actions during the riot, when she joined a mob of Trump supporters in attacking the Capitol while a joint session of Congress was meeting to confirm Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential election.
Jackson, who called Williams’s conduct “utterly reprehensible,” ridiculed the defense argument that Williams’s young age, small size and casual attire on Jan. 6 made her less culpable than other rioters, especially burly men in military gear. “She’s a defendant, but also a follower who was fooled and tricked into believing there was a plot to remove President Trump from office,” Ulrich told the judge. She said Trump “to this day still claims the election was stolen,” yet “he is still a free man, wining and dining.” Although Trump was not at the Capitol on Jan. 6, “his fingerprints are all over this.”
