Twelve Months’ Probation. Prosecutors Had Asked for Jail.

Official/court finding: sentencing was held January 29, 2021. The CourtListener minute entry records 12 months’ probation and a $100 special assessment. Judgment was entered February 2, 2021.

Fox News and NPR reported that the sentence also included 400 hours of community service. The public minute entry does not list that term. This site treats the 400 hours as widely reported, not as a line independently parsed from the signed judgment PDF (Doc. 46 was not independently parsed for this draft).

The government’s sentencing memorandum (RECAP Doc. 22) asked for a sentence inside the 0–6 month guideline range — Epoch Times wrote the six-month ask. Sophie Mann at Just the News and Conservative Treehouse wrote the probation result. Durham asked. The court gave probation.
