WASHINGTON (Reuters] – U.S. prosecutors seek the most severe punishments for the participants in Jan. 6, deadly attack on Capitol. Judges are urged to give an example of a man filmed punching a Police officer and another storming the Senate chamber in a horned Headdress.

On Wednesday, the government will request that a judge sentence Scott Fairlamb to 44 months imprisonment. Scott Fairlamb is a former Mixed Martial Arts fighter who was convicted in August of assaulting a New Jersey police officer.

Officers were able to capture him shouting at them with their body-worn camera, then he pushed one and hit him in his face.

U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth is scheduled to sentence him at 11:00 EST (14:00 GMT).

In a separate filing, prosecutors recommended a three-month, four-year sentence for Jacob Chansley (participant in Jan. 6 riots, nicknamed “QAnon Shaman”).

Lamberth will also be pleading Chansley’s behalf and will deliver his sentence on November 17.

Fairlamb’s lawyer requested that the judge consider the 11-month period the defendant had already been in custody.

Attorney Harley Breite stated that his client took responsibility and that Fairlamb wants to prove that Fairlamb, as well as his family, is not the troubling person in these videos.

Chansley’s attorney, Albert Watkins, said in a Tuesday court filing that Chansley should be released “as soon as possible,” noting that Chansley will have spent more than 10 months in pretrial detention.

Watkins claimed in the filing: “I can tell with confidence that Mr. Chansley requires mental health treatment,” adding that additional time in prison “jeopardizes His mental stability.”

A total of 700 individuals have been arrested for their participation in the Capitol violence. This was when former Republican President Donald Trump’s supporters fought police and smashed windows to enter the Capitol building, trying to overturn his defeat.

About 120 individuals have pleaded guilty to the charges and two dozen were sentenced. Many of these guilty pleas involve non-violent misdemeanor offences that result in short sentences, or even probationary sentences.
