North Carolina woman who brought teen son to Jan. 6 riot sentenced to three months in jail

The North Carolina woman who brought her teenage son to last year's deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol was sentenced Friday to three months behind bars and lambasted for her "complete lack of judgment.”

U.S. District Court Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ordered Virginia Marie "Jenny" Spencer, 38, to spend 90 days in jail and then be subjected to three years probation for her part in the Jan. 6 riot, when an angry mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 election won by Joe Biden.

“It must have been a traumatic experience to witness this kind of violence,” Kollar-Kotelly said. “It’s a complete lack of judgment on your part.”
