A woman pardoned last week by President Donald Trump for her role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack was sentenced to 17 years in prison on Wednesday for her role in a deadly drunken driving crash.
Emily Hernandez of Missouri gained fame for holding up a broken sign bearing then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's name that was taken during the Jan. 6 insurrection. She turned herself in to federal authorities in 2022 after being identified as one of the rioters and was sentenced to 30 days in jail. Hernandez was among 1,500 pardoned by Trump last week.
A Franklin County judge sentenced Hernandez to 10 years for Victoria Wilson's death and seven years for Ryan Wilson's injury.
Hernandez had a blood-alcohol content of .20% after the crash, authorities said more than double the state's legal limit.

OP
This one had already served her J6 time and had this accident back in 2022 I think- sentencing was this week.

I dont think this was karma- an innocent woman died and an innocent man is forever changed...

Thanks. Not surprised that a headline is wrong or purposely misleading.
