Listening to the (non-#CapitolRiot) sentencing in an Arizona court for Tim "Baked Alaska" Gionet. Prosecutors are asking for him to serve 6 months for assaulting, trespass and civil disorder. 
The prosecutor is playing part of Baked Alaska's livestream from inside the Capitol on January 6 now. As an aside, that stream has helped the FBI identify probably dozens of #CapitolRiot defendants at this point.
Gionet's attorney argues that this assault case is his client's only run-in with the law — which was true in December 2020, but is decidedly not true now. Since that arrest, he's been charged in the #CapitolRiot case and for damaging a Hanukkah display at the AZ capitol.
Gionet's attorney suggests pepper spraying a bouncer isn't that bad because "it's washed out with milk."
Tim "Baked Alaska" Gionet's attorney notes that he's been on pretrial release since his arrest on #CapitolRiot cases: "It's not an unsupervised thing where he can run around doing whatever he wants."

The judge says he does believe some jail time is appropriate for Gionet because of the violence he was convicted of. He's sentencing him to 30 days in jail.
"If that doesn't convince someone to amend their ways, I'm not sure what else will," he says.
