DOJ: "This is the rare case where the mitigating factors of the defendant’s age, poor health and military service in Viet Nam counsel strongly against a sentence of incarceration.”

William Blauser, Jr.: "I was caught up in something that I truly regret. If I had a chance to redeem myself, I would certainly do that in a heartbeat. I made a terrible choice on that day to enter the Capitol… All I can do is sincerely apologize…” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Defense: "Mr. Blauser has lived his entire life guided by principles completely incongruous with his actions on January 6, 2021. As shocked as those closest to him were by his arrest, no one was more devastated than Mr. Blauser himself.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Defense: "Arguably, the government already substantially achieved the maximum deterrent effect of Mr. Blauser’s offense simply by charging and convicting him… Mr. Blauser’s involvement is forever etched in history…"
Blauser is six years younger than the oldest Jan. 6 defendant, who received probation:
