A former Derby alderman has been sentenced to 10 days in prison after participating in the breach at the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
This Judgment was an important one for me.
Back a while ago, I saw on the local CT news an investigative story about this on the 6PM news I usually watch.
The video showed a reporter asking Mr DiGiovanni about his participation.
From the article back then...
NBC CT EXCLUSIVE: CT Alderman Says He Attended Jan. 6 Rally, Entered Capitol (October 2022)

... We spoke with Gino DiGiovanni Jr., 41, after a board meeting on Oct. 13, 2022.
We showed DiGiovanni photos and screen grabs from Jan. 6, obtained by NBC Connecticut. He has not been charged or arrested in connection with Jan. 6.
Yeah, I was there. And obviously, you got the pictures to prove it ... I was there, I went inside there, and, you know, I didn't damage or break anything.
Gino DiGiovanni Jr.
...
He confirmed he went to the Capitol after former President Trump finished speaking at the "Stop the Steal" rally a few blocks away.
When we asked DiGiovanni if he thought the 2020 election was stolen, he said, "Well, I think there's some discrepancies there."
Open source surveillance video indicated DiGiovanni entered the Upper West Terrace door of the Capitol around 2:38 p.m., shortly after people inside the Capitol walked out that door, and people held it open for others.
No wonder the GOP hates the new media.
