US Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell testified Friday during the sentencing of a January 6 rioter who attacked him that day, recounting the assault, the injuries he suffered from the riot, and telling the judge he felt the rioter, Duke Wilson, would do it again.
US District Judge Royce Lamberth sentenced Wilson, 68, to 51 months behind bars for assaulting police officers during one of the most violent battles between rioters and police officers that day.
During the attack, Wilson made his way to the West Terrace tunnel, where an hours-long battle between police and rioters took place. In the tunnel, he used what prosecutors believe was a PVC pipe to jab at police.
