WASHINGTON (AP) A man who was a Princeton University student when he stormed the U.S. Capitol was sentenced on Wednesday to two months of incarceration for interfering with police officers trying to hold off a mob of Donald Trump supporters.
Larry Fife Giberson , who graduated from Princeton earlier this year, was a 19-year-old sophomore majoring in political science when he and other rioters attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He joined the crowd in a coordinated push against officers guarding an entrance in a tunnel on the Capitols Lower West Terrace.
Giberson, now 22, expressed remorse and shame for his careless and thoughtless actions at the Capitol before U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols sentenced him.
I dont believe my defining moment was there on the Lower West Terrace, he told the judge. Instead, I believe my defining moment is now, standing before you.
