The Messenger reports:
In five separate filings, DOJ indicated it would seek intervention from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to obtain longer sentences for the leaders of the far-right group: Enrique Tarrio, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl, Dominic Pezzola and Ethan Nordean.
DOJ had initially requested more prison time for all five of the Proud Boys members: They’d asked for 33-year sentences for both Tarrio and Biggs; 30 years for Rehl; 27 years for Nordean; and 20 years for Pezzola.
Instead, U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Kelly in September gave Tarrio a 22-year sentence and he put Biggs behind bars for 17 years. Nordean, a Proud Boys chapter president from Auburn, Wash., got an 18-year sentence. Rehl is now serving a 15-year prison sentence. Pezzola got 10 years.
