'J6 Praying Grandma' Sentenced to Home Confinement and $103K Fine

Rebecca Lavrenz, convicted for her role in the Capitol riot, plans to appeal her sentence and fine.

  • Lavrenz, 72, received six months of home confinement and a $103,000 fine for her involvement in the January 6 Capitol riot.
  • Prosecutors had sought a 10-month prison sentence, but the judge opted for home confinement to prevent her from profiting off her conviction.
  • Lavrenz has raised over $230,000 through crowdfunding, which has been used for legal expenses and a speaking tour.
  • Her sentence includes a six-month internet ban, limiting her ability to raise funds for her appeal.
  • Lavrenz's legal team argues the fine is unprecedented for a misdemeanor case and plans to challenge it.
