A North Carolina man who may be on the autism spectrum was sentenced to 60 days in jail and three years’ probation Monday for his walk through the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and for behavior that included fist-bumping other protesters and taking selfies in the Senate Gallery.
U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth doubled the jail time recommended by federal prosecutors for James Leslie Little, 51, of Claremont, North Carolina. Lamberth stressed that he wanted to ensure Little was under court supervision during the next presidential election cycle.
