A Georgia man who stormed the U.S. Capitol with fellow members of the anti-government Oath Keepers extremist group has been sentenced to probation and home detention instead of prison. Brian Ulrich's lenient sentence is a reward for helping prosecutors in one of the most consequential cases arising from the Jan. 6, 2021, riot. Ulrich pleaded guilty in 2022 to seditious conspiracy, which is the most serious criminal charge stemming from the attack on the Capitol by a mob of Donald Trump supporters. He testified against other Oath Keepers members at a trial. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta sentenced Ulrich to three years of probation with six months of home detention.
