Harsh Sentencing for Proud Boys Member in Capitol Riot Case

Joe Biggs, a prominent member of the Proud Boys, was sentenced to 17 years in federal prison for his involvement in the January 6 Capitol riot. This sentence, one of the harshest in the riot cases, reflects Biggs' role as a vocal leader and influential proponent of the group.
