A Missouri woman convicted in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and recently pardoned by President Donald Trump was sentenced to 10 years this week for killing a mother of two in a drunken-driving crash.

Emily Hernandez was seen holding the broken nameplate of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., after the mob of Trump supporters attacked the Capitol in 2021. She served 30 days in federal prison and was released.

On Wednesday, she was sentenced in Missouri state court to 10 years in prison for a 2022 drunken-driving crash that killed Victoria Wilson and seriously injured her husband, Ryan Wilson, court records show.
