Capitol Rioter Gets Eight Years, Demands “Full Pardon”

November 8, 2024 Crime, Trump cultists

The Washington Post reports:

In the pantheon of the more than 1,500 people who have been arrested for participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, Zachary J. Alam captured his moment of fame as the man who was recorded punching the glass windows leading to the Speaker’s Lobby. Using a helmet to finish smashing the glass, he created the space into which Ashli Babbitt then climbed, where she was fatally shot by a Capitol Police officer.

U.S. District Judge Dabney L. Friedrich pointed to his “lack of remorse” as she sentenced him to eight years in prison, among the longest terms for a Jan. 6 defendant not affiliated with the Oath Keepers or Proud Boys groups. In court, Alam said he was aware of discussions around pardons for people like him. “But I will not accept a second-class pardon,” Alam said. “I want a full pardon with all the benefits that come with it, including full compensation.”
