On July 11, 2023, the Department of Justice filed a Notices of Appeal in eight cases involving members of the Oath Keepers organization who were convicted and sentenced for their involvement on the events of January 6. The eight defendants — charged together in one indictment with the lead charge against each being “Seditious Conspiracy — were convicted in two separate trials, both presided over by Judge Amit Mehta. …

With that all of that information available to him, Judge Metha issued eight sentences ranging from 18 years down to 3 years. Whether “right” or “wrong” on an objective level, no one can question that the sentencing decisions were handled in a deliberate, thoughtful, and individualized manner.

But apparently for the Government, they were not long enough.
