The United States Attorney's Office announced that Northeast Ohio woman and former Cleveland Metropolitan School District therapist Christine Priola was sentenced for her involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots.

The hearing took place on Friday morning in Washington, D.C. in front of a federal judge. The Willoughby resident was sentenced to more than a year behind bars and one year of supervised release. She is also being ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution.

Prior to Priola's sentencing, she wrote a 10-page letter to the U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan asking for a more lenient sentence.

Previously, on July 26, the Northeast Ohio native Priola pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding. Prior court documents showed the 50-year-old illegally entered the restricted area on the east side of the Capitol building with a large sign expressing her views, which she brought into the chamber. She was in the Senate chamber for about 10 minutes and inside the Capitol building for approximately 30 minutes.

She's lucky she only got 15 months. With good behavior, she will be out in 10 months.

It seems like a pretty lenient sentence. She certainly should never be allowed on a campus again for any reason.

A person that actually died was Asley Babbitt who was unarmed...
