Convicted Capitol Rioter Now Writing Defiant Book

“A former state lawmaker who six weeks ago apologized to a federal judge for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack is now writing a book for a right-wing publisher claiming he has been mistreated,” the Washington Post reports.

“Derrick Evans, who was sentenced in June to three months in prison after pleading guilty to felony civil disorder, said in a statement that he had been ‘slandered’ and wanted ‘to share my story with the world.'”

At his sentencing, Evans told the judge he felt daily regret for getting “caught up in a moment which led to me breaking the law.”
