Axios reports:
A U.S. Capitol rioter was sentenced to 75 days in prison on Thursday for directing a mob toward the Speaker’s Lobby on Jan. 6, 2021. Jeffrey Register, 39, of Jacksonville, Florida, was also fined $500 following his guilty plea last October to parading, demonstrating and picketing in a Capitol building, per a Justice Department statement.
Register had been in the Capitol building for about half an hour when he gestured toward a group of other rioters to come toward him. “Minutes later, and with Register as a witness, Ashli Babbitt was killed while attempting to breach that hastily barricaded entrance,” per a sentencing memo.
