Woman sentenced for role in Capitol riots
A mother, wife and nail salon owner from Ellwood City was sentenced Tuesday to serve a year of probation for entering the U.S. Capitol building during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot.
In addition to probation, U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper sentenced Julia Sizer, 39, to pay a $2,000 fine and $500 restitution. She was sentenced through video conferencing from the court in Washington, D.C.
The sentence is lighter than the sentence of 60 days of home detention, three years of probation, 60 hours of community service and paying $500 in restitution that federal prosecutors recommended Monday.
