Jacob Chansley, also known as the “QAnon Shaman” will be serving 41 months in prison after his part in the Capital storming on January 6th earlier this year. Prosecutors were looking for a lengthy sentencing, as they wanted to set an example for those charged with felonies in this situation. Now that Chansley’s fate has been sealed, it could spread to the others who are still waiting for their cases to finish pending.
Chansley made a plea deal with prosecutors who laid out the 41-51 months and the judge sentenced him on the lighter end of the sentencing. He was one of the hundreds of people who stormed the Capitol, donning an odd viking-style outfit. He pled guilty to obstructing an official proceeding before Congress.
After the riot and his arrest, Chansley asked then-President Donald Trump for a pardon.
