Law & Crime reports:
A piano teacher from Utah who took part in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol Complex was sentenced to 30 days behind bars on Wednesday afternoon. Janet Buhler, 56, pleaded guilty in January to one count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. That charge is a misdemeanor that carries a potential six-month jail sentence. As a result of her plea, the government agreed to drop four additional charges related to her participation in the pro-Donald Trump riot.
Buhler had gone to the U.S. Capitol Complex—and before that, the pro-Trump “Stop the Steal” rally premised on false claims of electoral fraud during the 2020 presidential election—with her stepson-in-law, former Salt Lake City police detective Michael Lee Hardin, 50. He pleaded guilty to the same parading and picketing misdemeanor as Buhler and was ultimately sentenced to a $500 fine and 18 months probation.
