Prosecutor says that while Sizer's criminal conduct was "minimal" in comparison to other rioters, it's clear that Sizer "wanted to breach the Capitol" and knew that the certification of the electoral college vote was happening inside. DOJ says she lied to the FBI.

Defense: “Jan. 6 is an embarrassment to her… she’s going to have a criminal record, she’s going to have some reprecussions… She’s embarrassed… She’s deterred, this is never going to happen again with Ms. Sizer.”

Julia Sizer tells the court she turned around after entering the Capitol.

“What am I doing?” she says she asked herself, and left DC sick to her stomach.

“I’m just ashamed… I’ve embarrassed myself, my family, friends… I’m just really ashamed… I don’t want it to define me."

Julia Sizer says she didn’t know what part of the Capitol she was going into. She’s only been to D.C. twice, and just went inside with the crowd, she says.

Judge Christopher Cooper points out that Ashli Babbitt was shot about the time Sizer entered the Capitol.

Judge Cooper made similar comments during Gracyn Courtright’s sentencing.

Julia Sizer says she doesn’t want to go to a protest ever again, let alone something like Jan. 6.

Judge Cooper calls Sizer’s remorse genuine, and says she’s on the low end of Jan. 6 defendants

Willing to accept that Sizer “panicked” when she lied to the FBI and quickly made amends for the false statement.

Sentence: 1 year probation, $2K fine.
