The Senate Chamber in the U.S. Capitol has stairs leading down to it.
The sentencing comes three months after Mostofsky, who prosecutors said was one of the first rioters to storm the Capitol wearing a bulletproof vest, pleaded guilty to a felony civil disorder charge for his role in the January 6 riot.
The son of a Kings County Supreme Court Judge was told by a US District Judge that he was acting out in a fantasy game.

More than 800. According to Insider, how many people have been arrested and charged with crimes related to the January 6 riots?
On January 6, hundreds of rioters broke into the Capitol in protest of former President Donald Trump's false claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against him. Prosecutors say the 35-year-old Mostofsky carried a walking stalker and entered the Capitol building through a door other rioters had forced open, where he grabbed an officer's riot gear and followed a mob chasing Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman up a staircase. He was cheering for the rioters who were fighting with the police outside the Capitol. The January 6 Committee, the select congressional panel tasked with investigating the attack on the Capitol, continues to hear testimony from Trump's inner circle, including his son Donald Trump Jr., who reportedly spoke to the panel on Wednesday. According to a list of cases tracked by Time, only a fraction of those arrested for charges related to the Capitol riot have been sentenced. One month for a senior from the University of Kentucky who took a selfies inside the Capitol building and five years for a man who attacked police officers are the sentences to date.
There will be other January 6 sentences. According to Time, hundreds of hearings are scheduled this year.
