Jan. 6 rioter Julian Khater, who sprayed the late Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick and others in the face with mace during the insurrection, has drawn an 80-month jail sentence.
U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Hogan issued the sentence — along with a fine of $10,000 fine and $2,000 in restitution — Friday in Washington D.C., dismissing Khater’s claim that his issues with “crippling anxiety” rendered him less than fully responsible for his actions.
Prosecutors had requested a jail sentence of 90 months.
Khater was convicted in September after pleading guilty to ten counts, including assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers using a dangerous weapon in connection with the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol by a mob of supporters of former President Donald Trump.
