WASHINGTON, D-C (KCCI) – An Iowa man convicted in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has been re-sentenced after he was mistakenly released from prison early. According to new court documents, Leo Kelly, of Cedar Rapids, was given a new sentence of time served and one year of supervised release. He is also required to pay $500 restitution and a $5,000 fine.
Kelly was originally sentenced to 30 months in prison for the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He served 11 months of that sentence when an appeals court threw out one of his convictions. The Bureau of Prisons says the release happened because of a “misinterpretation of a court order.”
