Michael Sparks, who was the first defendant to breach the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, was sentenced to 53 months in prison Tuesday for felony and misdemeanor charges.
U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly warned that the assault on the Capitol has created uncertainty around how America will conduct its next transfer of power after the 2024 presidential election.
Sparks, 46, was convicted by a jury in March of felony obstruction of an official proceeding and civil disorder and misdemeanors — including disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, entering a restricted building and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building.
Video from inside the Capitol showed him entering through a window and jumping to the floor at around 2:13 p.m. that day, according to the Justice Department.

Before the usual suspects jump in with "Kangaroo" court... judge Timothy J. Kelly was appointed by Trump in 2017. Kelly is a Conservative and a proud member of the Federalist Society. I think the sentence is far too little for a traitor but at least justice has been served.
