A series of legal developments have occurred in cases related to the January 6 Capitol riot. Chicago Police Officer Karol Chwiesiuk has been sentenced to three years of probation with the first three months under home detention for his participation in the riot. Despite being placed on unpaid leave, Chwiesiuk has not been terminated from the police department, with his employment status hinging on the outcome of his case. Clayton Mullins, whose sentencing is scheduled for next week, is facing a federal recommendation of 51 months in prison for his role in the violence at the Archway during the riot. Former Michigan GOP gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelley, who pleaded guilty in his case, is approaching the end of his projected prison term which ends Thursday. Additionally, a Proud Boys member received a six-year prison sentence for his involvement in the riot, and a brother and sister from Arizona were sentenced after pleading guilty to a felony charge related to the attack.
