A brother and sister from Arizona have been sentenced to weeks in prison for their participation in the 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Felicia Konold, 29, and Cory Konold, 28, of Tucson were sentenced Wednesday by a federal judge in Washington, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. Last year, the two pleaded guilty to a felony charge of obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder, as well as aiding and abetting.
Felicia Konold is set to serve 45 days in prison, and her brother 30 days. Both will have 24 months of supervision following their release.
Prosecutors had asked for a longer prison sentence for Felicia Konold, who they said planned for violence ahead of the 2021 attack and celebrated her antics after.
Federal prosecutors had asked for six months for the sister and three months for the brother. They argued that Felicia Konold deserved a harsher sentence because of her preplanning, aggravated conduct and lack of repentance.
