Jacquelyn Starer joined the mob on Jan 6, 2021 to sack the U.S. Capitol and was caught on camera attacking the police, punching an officer. The high-income M.D. isn't going to spend as long in jail as some of her MAGA brethren, though, many of whom are off to the clink for years, if not decades. Starer will be out in less than 9 months.
Starer told U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly that she isn't proud of her actions that day, including her "regrettable encounter" with the officer.
"I accept full responsibility for my actions that day, and I truly wish reason had prevailed over my emotions," she said.
Starer also turned to apologize to the officer whom she assaulted. The officer, identified only by her initials in court filings, told the judge she feared for her life as she and other officers fought for hours to defend the Capitol from the mob of Donald Trump supporters.
Ah, she regrets the encounter. That'll be it.
