Leo Brent Bozell IV of Pennsylvania is the son of Brent Bozell, the conservative founder of the Media Research Center, CNSNews, and the Parents Television Counsel, as Law&Crime previously reported,
Bozell IV, 44, was convicted at a bench trial last September in Washington, D.C. on 10 counts including five felonies like obstructing an official proceeding and aiding and abetting, destruction of government property and aiding and abetting, civil disorder, and assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers. He was also convicted on several misdemeanors including entering and remaining in a restricted building and grounds.
The stark 12-year proposed sentence is the result of a terrorism enhancement prosecutors seek for Bozell, a government sentencing memorandum from Friday explained.
