WASHINGTON — The Jan. 6 rioter who attacked fallen Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick with pepper spray was sentenced Friday to 6 years and 8 months in prison.
Julian Khater, 33, of Somerset, New Jersey, pleaded guilty last year to assaulting officers with a dangerous weapon.
Hogan said Khater will get credit for the year and 10-plus months he has spent incarcerated so far, in part due to prison conditions that the judge described as a"disgrace." The judge called Khater's lack of direct apology to the officers a"self-centered" approach. Though Khater said his attorney had advised him against a direct apology, noting that a civil case had been filed against him.
