Sentences Imposed in Cases Arising Out of the Events of January 6, 2021 : Department of Justice : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive A table of all sentences of defendants convicted in connection with the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The DOJ's January 6 cases database was taken down last week while I was on vacation.

Fortunately, I backed up the table of all the sentences before they disappeared it. You can find it here. It's up to date as of Jan. 6 of this year: archive.org/details/janu...
