..."Ethan Nordean, a leader of the Seattle chapter of the Proud Boys, was sentenced to 18 years in prison and three years of supervised release. Prosecutors on Friday called him the "undisputed leader on the ground" during the Jan. 6 attack.

Dominic Pezzola, a member of the Proud Boys that became one of the more recognizable faces of the riot at the Capitol, was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison and three years supervised release.

In his address to Pezzola, 45, and Nordean, 32, Judge Timothy Kelly called the events of Jan. 6 at the U.S. Capitol "a national disgrace."

Yet, his sentencing decision Friday is half of what prosecutors sought for Pezzola and nine years less for Nordean. The punishment reflects the seriousness of what he was convicted of, Kelly said.

Nordean coordinated members' storming of the Capitol all with the aim of interrupting the Electoral College certification of President Biden's victory, prosecutors said. They also said that in weeks leading up to Jan. 6, Nordean used social media to add new members to the Proud Boys, raised money and collected military-style equipment.

Kelly said his sentence reflects Pezzola's lesser role in comparison to his co-defendants and his conduct that day and that his actions that day "warrant significant deterrence."

In his plea for leniency to the court, Pezzola said he had given up politics, yet as he was being escorted out of the courtroom he shouted, "Trump won!" repeating the baseless claim of election fraud that led rioters to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6."...
