A Texas lawyer received a year in prison for instructing Oath Keepers to destroy evidence linked to the Capitol riot

She pleaded guilty to obstructing justice and entering a restricted area. The judge, Amit P. Mehta, said she used her legal background to push for violent actions against the transfer of power. SoRelle was close to Stewart Rhodes, the Oath Keepers’ founder, who’s already serving time for seditious conspiracy.
Before the riot, she was in cahoots with Rhodes, sending messages to other militia members while he tried to avoid getting caught. She even told them to delete anything that could get them in trouble.
Originally, she was supposed to go to trial, but she had some mental health issues that delayed things. After getting treatment, she was deemed competent to stand trial and ended up pleading guilty.
The prosecutors wanted her to serve 16 months, saying her actions were planned and motivated by ideology. At her sentencing, she expressed regret for her actions and her ties to Rhodes and the Oath Keepers.
In the end, she got a year in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. The judge also told her to stay away from any extremist groups. She’ll be able to report to prison later and might end up at a low-security medical center in Texas. Meanwhile, Rhodes is looking at a long stretch in prison, with his release date set for January 2037.
