A Grandmother Will Be the First Person to Be Sentenced for the January 6 Capitol Attack

On Wednesday, a federal judge is scheduled to hand down the first sentence to one of the more than 400 people now charged in the January 6 Capitol riot.

Last month, Anna Morgan-Lloyd, 49, of Bloomfield, Indiana, agreed to plead guilty to a single charge of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. In exchange, the Department of Justice agreed to recommend three years of probation, 40 hours of community service and a $500 fine.

Accordable to an affidavit filed in federal court in February, Morgan-Lloyd was identified as someone who had posted about the Capitol riot by an employee at the Greene County (Indiana) Sheriff’s Office when she attempted to apply for firearms permit. The sheriff’s department then reviewed her Facebook, and found numerous posts by her and a friend, Dona Sue Bissey (also of Bloomfield) appearing to show them inside the U.S. Capitol building on January 6.
