A federal judge said he wasn't convinced the parents who brought their kids to the Capitol riot wouldn't break the law again

Trump supporters clash with police and security forces as people try to storm the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 in Washington, DC. Demonstrators breeched security and entered the Capitol as Congress debated the 2020 presidential election Electoral Vote Certification.
  • A mother, father, and their three adult children were sentenced for their roles in the Capitol riot.
  • The parents, Thomas and Dawn Munn, were sentenced to 14 days in jail, 3 years probation, and 90 days of confinement.
  • Thomas Munn said he was "caught up" by messaging on Fox News, which is why he went to D.C. on January 6. 

A federal judge said she wasn't convinced parents who brought their kids with them to Washington D.C. for the Capitol riot would not break the law again. 

"This is not the kind of remorse that indicates some assurance that they're not going to engage (again), after being susceptible to being egged on for political violence once," Judge Beryl Howell said at the Munn Family's sentencing hearing Tuesday, CBS Correspondent Scott MacFarlane reported

Thomas and Dawn Munn were both sentenced to 14 days in jail, three years probation, and 90 days of home confinement — less than the 30 days of jail time prosecutors sought for the couple.

The family, including the parents and their three adult children, had all previously pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of illegally entering a government building. 

Thomas Munn, while asking for leniency, said he has "never been political before" and "kept watching what was happening on the news." He added that he watches Fox News and got "caught up" in what they were saying, MacFarlane reported. 

While Dawn Munn asked for leniency, she repeated Donald Trump's election fraud lies

"I'm sorry for what happened on January 6," Dawn Munn said, according to MacFarlane. "I understand this country has been divided between conservative and non-conservative values."

"I do not understand why our election is not secure," Munn continued. "If we don't have a secure election, we don't have a country." 

Neither appeared to apologize for their actions in court. 

Their adult children were each sentenced to three years of probation. Their oldest child, Kristi, is facing an additional 90 days of house arrest for bragging about her involvement in the riot on Facebook afterward.
