Iced Earth’s Jon Schaffer is out on bail after spending nearly three months in jail. The metal guitarist quickly became one of the faces of the 2021 Capitol Riot after a photo of Schaffer made the rounds online.
Schaffer has pleaded guilty to two charges (Obstruction of an official proceeding of Congress and Trespassing on restricted grounds of the Capitol while armed with a deadly or dangerous weapon) though he was originally charged with six crimes.
Though Schaffer could face up to 30 years in prison, CNN reports that prosecutors and Schaffer’s defense team have agreed to recommend between 3.5 and 4.5 years of prison time for the Iced Earth guitarist, though the sentence will ultimately be decided by Judge Amit Mehta.
