Two cousins learned their fates for fighting with police guarding the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and leading the first round of rioters into the building that day.
Daniel Page Adams, 45, of Texas, and Cody Page Carter Connell, 30, of Louisiana, were each sentenced on Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman to 26 months in prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced in a press release.
Adams and Connell were convicted in July 2023 of civil disorder, obstruction of an official proceeding, assaulting officers, and four trespassing and disorderly conduct misdemeanors after a stipulated bench trial before Friedman, a Bill Clinton appointee. Although sentencing was originally scheduled for November 2023, it was delayed as the U.S. Supreme Court considered whether the obstruction of an official proceeding charge could be used in Jan. 6 cases; when the justices ultimately decided in June that it did not, the obstruction charge was removed from Adams’ and Connell’s case — and from consideration for sentencing.
Prior to joining the insurrection effort, the two men attended Donald Trump‘s “Stop the Steal” rally. They then made their way to the front of the mob at the Capitol building. “Let’s go. Are you ready to push? You ready to push?” Adams said to fellow rioters at one point when officers blocked the group.
