So far, 25% of the over 720 Capitol riot defendants have pleaded guilty to federal charges, most of whom were not accused of violence or destruction inside the Capitol building, and 76 defendants have been sentenced, according to CNN’s latest tally. Hernandez admitted to taking home the broken sign, in addition to a red “Keep Off Fence” sign, a fire extinguisher pin and tag and a “Please Do Not Touch” sign from the base of a statue inside the Capitol. She returned all the stolen signs to investigators in late January.Days before pleading guilty, Hernandez was allegedly involved in a deadly drunk driving crash in her home state of Missouri.
Paul Colbath also pleaded guilty on Monday to unlawfully protesting in the building. According to prosecutors, Colbath had texted his wife that the riot was “wild” and that tear gas was being deployed. Colbath, when inside the building, assisted another rioter who was sprayed with a chemical spray, leading him into a side office where he saw broken windows and graffiti in the room. His sentencing is set for early April.
