During his sentencing hearing in federal court in Washington, Fracker apologized for his actions.
“Yes, I was there with someone else. Yes, I was there because I trusted him based on lies, but he didn’t tell me how to act that day. I acted on my own, and for that I apologize,” Fracker told the judge. Prosecutors said they wouldn’t have known that Robertson destroyed two cellphones containing incriminating videos and photos taken on Jan. 6 without Fracker’s cooperation. His testimony also helped prosecutors “establish Robertson’s corrupt intent" to obstruct the congressional proceeding without having to rely on Robertson's social media postings, prosecutors wrote.
Fracker is the first Jan. 6 defendant to be sentenced for a conspiracy conviction and the first defendant to be sentenced after getting a cooperation deal with prosecutors. Rocky Mount, a town of roughly 5,000 residents about a four-hour drive southwest of Washington, fired Robertson and Fracker after the deadly riot.Robertson and Fracker are among roughly 850 people who have been charged with federal crimes for their conduct on Jan. 6. More than 350 of them have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanor offenses, and more than 230 have been sentenced.Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Ex-Cop Who Testified Against Friend Avoids Prison in Jan. 6 Capitol RiotA former Virginia police officer who testified against a friend and former supervisor he joined at the Capitol in the Jan. 6 insurrection has avoided prison time for his role in it. Former Rocky Mount Police Officer Jacob Fracker was sentenced Tuesday to one year of probation, with 59 days in home confinement. Fracker had pleaded guilty to conspiring with his fellow officer to obstruct Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory over then-President Donald Trump. Prosecutors did not seek prison time for Fracker, pointing to his substantial cooperation and trial testimony against former Sgt. Thomas Robertson. Robertson was sentenced last week to more than seven years behind bars.
