Rioters at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington. Hundreds of people charged with storming the U.S. Capitol three years ago have had a powerful incentive to plead guilty rather than go to trial. An Associated Press review of over 1,200 cases arising from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack found that the average prison sentence for a Capitol riot defendant convicted of a felony after a trial is roughly four years and three months.
