2021年1月6日，特朗普总统的支持者席卷华盛顿的美国国会大厦。
迄今为止，约有500人因参与暴乱被捕，这已成为司法部有史以来规模最大的调查之一。
摩根·劳埃德(Morgan-Lloyd)在1月份首次引起当局的注意，当时她在暴乱后几周申请了持枪许可，当地警长办公室的一名员工在处理申请时认出了她。根据法院文件，她发廊的一名客户告诉联邦调查局调查人员，她“经常支持卡农和其他阴谋论”。
一个陪劳埃德去国会大厦的朋友后来在脸书上传了多张照片，其中一张标题是“国会大厦内部”
“最好...永远的一天!!我永远不会忘记。据检方称，摩根-劳埃德在照片附带的评论中回应道。
摩根-劳埃德在给法官的一封支持缓刑的信中说，她对暴乱演变成暴力“感到羞耻”，并为那天的混乱道歉。摩根-劳埃德说，她是一名注册民主党人，在2016年的选举中“发现自己支持特朗普”，她“很难相信这一点，因为我们以前根本不喜欢他。”
“但他坚持我们的信仰。我们对此不能争辩，”摩根-劳埃德在信中说。
“缓刑一生只有一次，”兰伯尔特法官周三在法庭上告诉摩根-劳埃德。“这是你的一次。”
'I'm ashamed': Woman who breached Capitol receives probation in 1st sentence handed down for Jan. 6 riot
A grandmother from Indiana who participated in theJan. 6 insurrectionat the U.S. Capitol was sentenced Wednesday to three years of probation for her participation in the riot, making her the first person sentenced in the attack.
Anna Morgan-Lloyd, a 49-year-old hair salon owner, pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a capitol building, which carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $5,000 fine. Washington, D.C., District Judge Royce Lamberth also ordered her to complete 40 hours of community service and pay $500 in restitution.
The sentence is what the defense had asked for, and the government supported.
Morgan-Lloyd, who prosecutors said did not participate in any of the violence at the Capitol, posted onFacebookafter the attack that it was the "best ... day ever," adding a curse word to the description.
Prior to sentencing, prosecutors said they found the sentence "appropriate," despite what they called Morgan-Lloyd's initial "ill-considered and misguided commentary," in part because there was no evidence that she preplanned her attack or incited others, and because she worked with investigators, admitted to her actions, and expressed contrition.
Before receiving her sentence, Morgan-Lloyd tearfully apologized to the court for participating in what she called a "disgraceful" day.
"I went there to show support for President Trump peacefully, and I'm ashamed that it became a savage display of violence that day," Morgan-Lloyd said.
She did not face any major charges for her role.
The sentencing marks a milestone in the Jan. 6 investigation, which enters a new phase after its first seven months. Dozens of accused rioters are inearly plea discussions, according to prosecutors, with nearly a dozen rioters having pleaded guilty to charges so far.
To date, roughly 500 individuals have been arrested for participating in the riot in what has become one of the largest investigations ever undertaken by the Department of Justice.
Morgan-Lloyd first came to the attention of authorities in January when she applied for a gun permit just weeks after the riot, and an employee at the local sheriff's office recognized her while processing the application. A client at her hair salon told FBI investigators that she "regularly spoke supportively of QAnon and other conspiracy theories," according to court documents.
A friend who accompanied Lloyd to the Capitol later posted multiple photos on Facebook, with one caption reading, "Inside Capitol Building."
"Best ... day ever!! I'll never forget. We got into the Capitol Building," Morgan-Lloyd responded in the comments accompanying the photo, according to prosecutors.
In a letter written to the judge in support of probation, Morgan-Lloyd said she "felt ashamed" that the riot had turned violent and apologized for the chaos that day. Morgan-Lloyd said that she is a registered Democrat who "found [herself] supporting Trump" in the 2016 election, which she "found hard to believe because we didn't like him at all before."
"But he was standing up for what we believe in. We couldn't argue with it," Morgan-Lloyd said in the letter.
"Probation comes once in a lifetime," Judge Lamberth told Morgan-Lloyd Wednesday in court. "This is your once."
