‘QAnon Shaman’ Who Stormed Capitol in Horns Should Spend 51 Months in Prison, Prosecutors Say

Request would be followed by three years of supervised release and $2,000 restitution. Chansley’s sentencing is set for Nov. 17.

Prosecutors submitted the memo Tuesday night, recommending the court hand down a sentence of 51 months, followed by three years of supervised release and $2,000 restitution. Chansley’s sentencing is set for Nov. 17.
