Patrick McCaughey, the Jan. 6 defendant who pinned a police officer in a Capitol doorway, was sentenced to 7.5 years in prison. It's one of the longest sentences given to Jan. 6 rioters so far but still less than half the nearly 16 years the DOJ sought.
Convicted Jan. 6 rioter Patrick McCaughey became “a poster child of all that was dangerous and appalling” about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot , federal District Judge Trevor McFadden said Friday at McCaughey's sentencing. | APFew images captured the visceral violence and horror of Jan. 6 more clearly than the moment Patrick McCaughey — a 23-year-old from Connecticut — pinned a D.C. Police officer, Daniel Hodges, in a Capitol doorway as he howled in pain.
“I wish I had better control of myself,” he said, calling his behavior “less like a citizen and more like an animal.” McFadden found McCaughey guilty in September after a bench trial on three charges of assaulting or impeding police officers, obstructing Congress’ proceedings and participating in a civil disorder, among several other charges. He was tried alongside two other defendants who were nearby in the tunnel.
