'Unrepentant' 'J6 Praying Grandma' — who raised money promoting Capitol riot — avoids jail

A 72-year-old Colorado woman who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, will avoid jail time after a judge sentenced her to a year of probation and a $103,000 fine Monday, the Colorado Sun reports.

Rebecca Lavrenz, who took on the moniker “J6 Praying Grandma,” was convicted on four misdemeanor counts for entering the Capitol and disorderly conduct for participating in the insurrection, according to the Sun. Prosecutors initially pushed for Lavrenz to serve up to 10 months in prison for continuing to defend the insurrection, writing in a recent filing that “her unrepentant promotion of the riot is powerful evidence that she continues to pose a threat to future acts of political violence.”

The Colorado Sun noted that Lavrenz has raisedmore than $230,000 via online fundraisers by promoting her participation in the riot.

Lavrenz responded to the sentencing in a post on Facebook.

“I am confident that his sentence will be what God, the Highest Judge, thinks is best to wake up our country,” Lavrenz said in the post. “Trusting and obeying God is my assignment for today.”
