STANDBY: Two sentencing hearings in low-level Jan 6 cases are set to begin. I'm waiting to hear if either (or both) defendants reference being "Caught up in the moment" when they face the judge
That's becoming an increasingly common refrain

Danielle Doyle of Oklahoma is appearing for sentencing. Another “unlawful picketing and parading” case. 0-6 months range. Standby
Prosecutor alleges Doyle yelled at police in Capitol and went on to text someone “I literally can’t do any more Q sh**”” after. And prosecutor emphasizes Doyle entered Capitol *after* seeing damage and unrest
Doyle’s defense lawyer begins by TWICE saying Doyle “is very passionate about her country”
Defense seeks sentence of probation for a Doyle.
Doyle: “I wish I had some profound thing to tell you” as she address judge. “Why I went in that building I can’t tell you”
Doyle continues, “no matter what my punishment is, I’m willing to accept it”. She says things changed “in the blink of an eye”
Judge tells Doyle she took part in a "shameful" event....
"I'm sure you had no intent of breaking into Capitol when you woke up on January 6"
"None of us should be judge on our worst day alone" .. calls it "Strange aberration" for Doyle, judge credits Doyle for remorse

ALERT: Judge goes lower than sentence recommended by US Dept of Justice
He issues $3,000 fine, 2-months probation against Doyle
"I hope you learn from that experience..." he tells her
