Den mest ikoniske figuren på Capitol Hill 6. januar, Jacob Chansley (33) vil få mellom 3,5 og 4,5 år for tiden han oppholdt seg inne i Kongressen. Hvis de opprinnelige anklagene var blitt opprettholdt hadde han risikert 28 år. Han har allerede sittet åtte måneder.

His lawyer, Al Watkins, says Chansley is “non-violent, peaceful and possessed genuine mental health issues” at the time of the conspiracy-theory-fueled building breach.

On Thursday, Watkins told The Post, “It has been a long road educating the court about mental health vulnerabilities.As a result of a lot of shifting dialog, we have been able to collaborate with the government.”

Under fengselsoppholdet er Chansley blitt mentalundersøkt og det er fastslått at han lider av depresjon, bipolar lidelse og schizofreni. Likevel er han holdt i varetekt.

While in detention, Chansley underwent mental examinations and was diagnosed by prison officials with transient schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety.
