More than 120 defendants across the United States have pleaded guilty or were convicted at trial of crimes including rioting, arson and conspiracy. And more than 70 defendants who’ve been sentenced have received an average of about 27 months behind bars. http://apne.ws/ZZldomO pic.twitter.com/sZecP6Wv5f
