Appeals Court Vacates Capitol Rioter's Sentence, Raising Questions for Other Jan. 6 Cases
- Appeals court ruled that sentencing enhancement wrongly applied to Capitol rioter Larry Brock, vacating his sentence
- Enhancement has been used in over 100 other Jan. 6 cases - those defendants may now push for new sentences
- Brock was sentenced to 2 years in prison for felony obstruction and misdemeanors
- Ruling states the enhancement applies to judicial proceedings not electoral vote certification
- It's unclear how much sentences may be reduced without the enhancement, Brock's likely increased his sentence by 9 months
