on Jan. 6, 2021, and apparently believed he was storming the White House was sentenced Friday to five years in prison.
In a brief statement to the court, Jensen assured Kelly that he won’t be involved in the judicial system after this and expressed his wish to go back to being a family man and to his"normal" life before politics.His lawyer, Christopher Davis, told NBC News after the hearing, “I’m certain Mr. Jensen would have preferred a lower sentence,” adding that he will file an appeal on Friday.
Last week, the federal government asked the court to order a"mid-range sentence of 64 months imprisonment, three years of supervised release, $2,000 in restitution and a total mandatory special assessment of $520 for the five felony counts and two misdemeanor counts of conviction." In a separate filing, Jensen's lawyer asked that his client be sentenced to 27 months, saying that would be a"sentence sufficient but not greater than necessary.
On Jan. 6, Jensen recorded videos from the base of the Capitol, where he proclaimed, inaccurately, that he was at the White House. “Storm the White House! That’s what we do!”In a supplemental document the U.S. attorney filed this week in support of Jensen's sentencing, Loyd wrote about how the riot changed his life forever."We did not attack the mob, the mob attacked us," he wrote.
