Oklahoma legislator asks judge for compassion for Trump supporter charged in Capitol riot

Last edited Wed Jan 12, 2022, 07:32 PM - Edit history (1)

State Rep. Kevin Wallace wrote a letter of support for a Chandler man who illegally demonstrated inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Tanner Bryce Sells, 26, is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday by videoconference in federal court in Washington, D.C.

He is one of seven Oklahomans who were arrested as a result of the investigation into the storming of the U.S. Capitol. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in September for his involvement.

Wallace, R-Wellston, asked U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson for "your compassion in this process."

The legislator told the judge that Sells owns his own construction company and is the proud father of a 2-year-old boy.

Maybe he should have thought about his family instead of driving across the country to do something so mind-numbingly stupid.

How much compassion did Trump's terrorists have for the police they attacked?

And the VP and legislators they wanted to kill?
