Appeals Court Overturns Sentence Enhancements for Some Jan. 6 Defendants
- Appeals court ruled some Jan. 6 defendants had sentences improperly increased due to "interference" charge
- Court said interfering with Congress' electoral vote certification does not qualify for sentence enhancement
- Affirmed Larry Brock's conviction but disagreed with sentencing over "administration of justice" enhancement
- Other defendants may have sentences thrown into question if they received longer terms due to same charge
- Brock initially charged with 2 counts related to entering Capitol, "interference" charge added later
