Indiana woman first person to be sentenced for January 6 riots at U.S. Capitol

A woman from Bloomfield will be the first person sentenced for the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.

Anna Morgan-Lloyd, 49, will be sentenced Wednesday after agreeing to plead guilty to a single charge of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. She was supposed to be sentenced last Friday, but the hearing was shifted to Wednesday because of the new Juneteenth federal holiday.

Prosecutors have agreed to a sentence of three years of probation, 40 hours of community service, and $500 in restitution.

According to court documents, Morgan-Lloyd was identified in Facebook posts about the Capitol riot by an employee at the Green County Sheriff’s Office when she tried to apply for a gun permit. The sheriff’s office reviewed the posts that appeared to show Morgan-Lloyd inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and notified federal investigators.

Morgan-Lloyd was arrested in Florida in March.

As part of an official statement, Morgan-Lloyd said:

“I felt ashamed that something meant to show support for the President had turned violent. This is not the way to prove any point. At first, it didn’t dawn on me, but later I realized that if every person like me, who wasn’t violent, was removed from that crowd, the ones who were violent may have lost the nerve to do what they did. For that, I am sorry and take responsibility. It was never my intent to help empower people to act violently.”

Morgan-Lloyd also said she takes responsibility for her actions that day and will do what the court requires of her, including cooperating with her probation officer and paying restitution.

This is a political prosecution (persecution, if you prefer) by the leftists running the show. Don’t you dare step out of line, or you’ll be next!

Interesting to note that they will not prosecute their BLMantifa foot soldiers for actually Burning Looting and Murdering for months on end, but a non-destructive walk though the capitol building merits an FBI investigation…
