        In the first year following the January 6th Capitol riot, 391 individuals were charged with felonies, while 325 were charged with misdemeanors. Among those who pleaded guilty, 32% (327) were charged with felonies, and 68% (682) with misdemeanors. More than 1,500 individuals have been charged with federal crimes related to the riot, with many receiving sentences, including incarceration, probation, or fines.

        Felonies + death during felonies = felony murder
