Following her conviction on August 12 in a Washington, D.C. court, Lavrenz&#8217;s GiveSendGo page has garnered $124,901 towards her goal of $250,000. In a recent update, she mentioned being sentenced to 12 months of probation along with a staggering $103,000 fine\u2014reportedly the largest misdemeanor fine in U.S. history.<\/p>\n<p>As part of her sentence that avoids jail time but includes house arrest for six months, Lavrenz has been fitted with an ankle monitor. Raheem Kassam from National Pulse shared an image of her wearing the device and commented sarcastically about how this measure is meant to enhance national safety against what he described as a significant coup threat posed by someone who merely prayed inside the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>At 72 years old and residing in Falcon, Colorado\u2014just east of Colorado Springs\u2014Lavrenz believes she was divinely inspired to pray within the Capitol that day. She spent approximately ten minutes inside and expressed that she wanted lawmakers to hear their concerns.<\/p>\n<p>In detailing her punishment further, she explained that during the first six months of home detention she is prohibited from using the internet entirely. This restriction will hinder her ability to communicate via social media or email and even perform basic tasks like checking news sites or managing online banking. Her attorneys noted such limitations are typically reserved for severe offenses like child pornography or human trafficking cases. Lavrenz feels these measures are intended as punishment for expressing herself as a Christian woman who loves America and its Constitution during this critical election period while also impacting her ability to fundraise for her appeal and pay off fines<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2647,"featured_media":2331574,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/J6-Grandma-Sentence-scaled-1024x684.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[37144,39390,39389,39391,32076],"class_list":["post-2331573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-ankle-bracelet","tag-internet-ban","tag-j6-praying-grandma","tag-january-6th","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/J6-Grandma-Sentence-scaled-1024x684.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2647"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2331573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2331574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2331573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2331573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2331573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
