- A bed-and-breakfast operator from Colorado known as the 'J6 praying grandma' was sentenced to six months of home confinement in her Capitol riot case following remarks deemed offensive towards the criminal justice system by the judge.
- While prosecutors sought 10 months of imprisonment for Lavrenz, the judge determined that six months of home confinement would suffice. She was fined $103,000 and placed on a one-year probation, with the initial six months to be spent in home confinement.
- Former President Donald Trump expressed his support for Lavrenz, openly criticizing the Jan. 6 legal proceedings. Following her conviction in April, Trump voiced concerns on social media regarding Lavrenz's treatment by the Justice Department and shared a link to a crowdfunding website for donations to her legal fund.
- Subsequent to the sentencing, Lavrenz disclosed raising $230,000 via crowdfunding, utilizing a portion of the funds for a nationwide speaking tour where she defended the actions of the mob and disseminated false information about her own behavior. Her legal counsel mentioned Lavrenz's expenditures exceeding $120,000 for legal fees, $95,000 for an appeal retainer, and $9,000 for court-related travel and accommodation expenses.
