A federal judge reduced the prison sentence for a convicted Jan. 6 rioter and Proud Boy member from Washington state who had a history of berating and insulting him during proceedings.

Marc Anthony Bru, 44, had his prison sentence reduced by one year due to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling limiting the government’s use of a federal obstruction law. Bru was originally sentenced in January to 72 months — or six years — in prison and 36 months of supervised release, as well as a fine of $7,946 and $2,000 in restitution, by Chief U.S. District Chief Judge James E. Boasberg. Bru was convicted of obstruction, civil disorder, and five misdemeanor charges following a bench trial before Boasberg on Oct. 3, 2023.

The resentencing comes after Bru disrupted the court, including insulting Boasberg, a Barack Obama appointee, during his original sentencing. Bru did not repeat similar insults at Friday’s hearing, but told Boasberg that adding more time to his sentence “is not that much of a deterrent,” The Associated Press reported.
