Leo Brent Bozell IV, 44, of Palmyra, Pennsylvania, was among the first rioters to enter the Capitol and one of the first to reach the Senate chamber during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack. Along the way, he smashed a window, assaulted a police officer and roamed the Senate floor. Bozell’s father, L. Brent Bozell III, founded the Media Research Center, the Parents Television Council and other conservative media organizations. The younger Bozell apologized to two Capitol Police officers in the courtroom before U.S. District Judge John Bates sentenced him to three years and nine months in prison. Prosecutors had sought an 11-year, eight-month sentence, arguing that he “engaged in sustained and repeated attacks” on police officers after he joined or led other rioters in charging at police lines at multiple locations inside and outside the Capitol. Bozell was arrested in February 2021. Bates presided over a bench trial before convicting Bozell of 10 charges, including obstructing Congress’ joint session to certify Joe Biden’s electoral victory in the 2020 presidential election. After attending the pro-Trump “Stop the Steal” rally — where the then-president repeated his false claims that he had lost the election to Biden because it had been stolen from him — near the White House on Jan. 6, Bozell marched to the Capitol and joined the mob that pushed past police barricades. At one point, he was seen leaving the office of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi carrying an unidentified item. Over the course of about an hour, Bozell roamed the Capitol, vandalizing property and pushing past at least three police lines before officers finally forced him out, prosecutors said. They had sought to charge him with a terrorism enhancement that would have significantly increased his sentence. But the judge declined, saying the enhancement “doesn’t make a whole lot of sense in this case.” More than 1,350 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the Capitol attack. Of those, about 850 have pleaded guilty, with about two-thirds of them sentenced to prison terms ranging from a few days to 22 years. Read Also: Capitol.
