Recent court proceedings have seen multiple Jan 6 defendants sentenced and pleading guilty. Brian Bingham, previously identified by a tipster as a former Army colleague, is scheduled for a plea hearing after being accused of scuffling with police and attempting to throw a punch during the Capitol riot. Similarly, Colby Purkel, alongside his father, pleaded guilty to civil disorder for his role in pushing against police and entering the Rotunda. In related cases, Ronald Mele, linked with the 3%-ers militia group, received a 33-month prison sentence. Another defendant, noted for carrying a Confederate flag and assaulting officers with chemical spray, was sentenced to 30 months in prison. The group involved wore plate carriers, tactical gear, and carried knives and bear spray.
