“Inside White House [sic] via breaking in windows... Tree of liberty was watered today!”

One of the Capitol rioters who couldn’t get his branches of government straight is set to be sentenced at 10. Feds want two months home detention.

“It’s embarrassing,” Kenneth Kelly said when he pleaded guilty. “I probably didn’t have the education to name the building correctly.” huffpost.com/entry/kenneth-…

"He described his decision to enter the Capitol as stupid.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Kelly lost his $350K job, he’s getting divorced, and his kids are in Hawaii with his soon to be ex, per defense.

"It should also be noted that the Defendant identified the Capitol Building as the White House.”

Kelly’s sentencing hearing is now underway before Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly.

Kelly tells the court he’s a “different man” and that he greatly regrets his error in judgement. Congress, his country, and his loved ones deserve better, Kelly says.

An emotional Kelly says he blames “no one but myself” for the decisions he made on Jan. 6.

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly says Kelly’s comments, particularly after the fact, have given her pause.

“I think he clearly was happy that the process was stopped,” Kollar-Kotelly said. “Those comments gave me great pause.”

Case merits home detention, she says.

NEW: Dr. Kenneth Kelly gets 60 days home detention, as feds requested.

Now some discussion of whether Dr. Kenneth Kelly can do house calls while on house arrest.

“I’m sure you’re not the first doctor to be under home detention,” says Judge Kollar-Kotelly.
