A Jan. 6 defendant said he's 'already felt the impact' of his actions after losing his wife, job, and access to guns

• The Oklahoma Capitol riot defendants asked to be spared jail time.

• He lost his job, his wife, and his ability to vote.

• Prosecutors say he took a video of himself talking about throwing the capitol.

The attorney for the man accused of participating in the Capitol riot listed the consequences he says his client has suffered as a result of his actions.

A man from Oklahoma is going to be sentenced next month after pleading guilty to a civil disorder charge. He was charged with disorderly conduct and obstruction of an official proceeding. Federal prosecutors have offered some rioters lesser charges in exchange for their guilty pleas as they work to prosecute the more than 900 people arrested in connection with the attack.

A sentencing memo was filed by an attorney for the man on Friday, asking for no jail time for the man. The maximum sentence for the charge is 5 years in prison.

The lawyer for the defendants painted a picture of his client as a giant who was betrayed by Donald Trump.

Jay P. Mykytiuk wrote that Mr. Ryals had no agenda other than to participate in a peaceful protest. He was not aggressive. He didn't force his way into the building. There was no physical contact with law enforcement.

"Ryals expressed his support for those who spearheaded the breaching of the building, but he didn't join them at the front," Mykytiuk said.

He lost his job and became estranged from his wife as a result of the siege. He will no longer be able to vote as a result of his conviction and will be barred from owning firearms as well.

Due to the massive publicity and historic nature of the January 6 riot, most people in his community know of his offense and have ostracized him.

The lawyer wouldn't say anything about the sentencing prospects.

He is not the first person to talk about the aftermath of the siege. The Texas lawyer said he "hit rock bottom" after losing his friends and fiancée.

According to court documents, a group of people drove from Oklahoma to Washington, DC, to hear Trump speak at the "Stop the Steal" rally. "We definitely have enough people to overthrow this bitch" is what he said in one of the videos he took at the riot.

They do not have a chance. The doors are open up there. "We're working our way in slowly but surely, we're working our way in slowly but surely, we're working our way in slowly but surely, we're working our way in slowly but surely, we're working our way in slowly but surely, we'

Nearly 400 people have pleaded guilty so far, and more than 900 people have been arrested.
