A federal judge has sentenced a participant in the January 6 insurrection to 45 days in jail — a far harsher sentence than requested by federal prosecutors, who asked for three months of home confinement. Matthew Mazzocco flew from Texas to join others in Washington who were trying to overturn the 2020 election. Judge Tanya Chutkan said, “If Mr. Mazzocco walks away with probation and a slap on the wrist, that’s not going to deter anyone from trying to do what he did.”
