66. CNN article: "I don't want to go to jail," Williams said to her attorney.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/21/politics/riley-williams-capitol-riot-pelosi-office/index.html

In agreeing with the Justice Department’s request that Williams be immediately locked up, Judge Amy Berman Jackson heavily reprimanded Williams and her actions on January 6.

“She was profane, she was obnoxious and she was threatening,” Jackson said of Williams.

“This is a person who was packed and ready to flee once before,” the judge added, saying that Williams’ father had offered her places to hide in the wake of the Capitol attack.

Prosecutors say they are still determining whether to retry the case against Williams on the charges of obstruction and aiding and abetting in the laptop theft.

Williams will be sentenced on February 22 and, according to prosecutors, could face two to three years in prison, according to sentencing guidelines.

She's locked up now - great news. Now learn something Ms Williams and lose the arrogant and entitled behavior.
