Some Capitol Rioters Change Tune After Apologizing

Associated Press: “Some defendants have drawn ire from judges or the Justice Department for their inconsistent comments. But there’s not much the legal system can do for an adjudicated defendant. And because some conservatives hold up Jan. 6 defendants as martyrs, there’s a political and possibly financial incentive for them to change their tune.”

“It could push judges to impose stronger punishments for rioters who haven’t yet made it to the end of their criminal cases.”
