The Department of Justice cited Justice Jackson to defend the penalty for a North Carolina woman involved in the January 6 Capitol breach. The DOJ argued that despite a recent Supreme Court ruling narrowing the scope of certain charges, prosecutors can still pursue cases like Tara Stottlemyer’s. Stottlemyer, a mother and farmer,\u2062 pleaded guilty to\u200c obstructing an official proceeding<\/a> and was sentenced to prison and probation. Prosecutors \u200dreferenced Justice Jackson’s opinion to support their argument that Stottlemyer’s sentence should stand.\u2064 The DOJ \u2062has requested extra time<\/a> in similar cases to address challenges to the charges. Despite serving her prison sentence, Stottlemyer is now under home detention and GPS monitoring,\u2064 with her attorney seeking modifications \u2064to her sentence. <\/p>\n
