A judge sentenced a 20-year-old man for his role in the attack and fire at the Aurora Municipal Courthouse during protests in 2020.
Jordan White was sentenced to six years in prison for smashing windows, throwing lighted fireworks into the building while wearing military-style apparel.White was charged with six counts of: first degree arson, inciting a riot, criminal mischief, engaging in a riot, and disobedience of public safety orders under riot conditions“An attack on a courthouse, on the place people go to seek justice, is an attack on the rule of law itself,” District Attorney John Kellner said.
Prosecutors add rioters aimed fireworks at police officers, and four employees were trapped in the building during the riot.“This was not an act of civil disobedience,” Judge Ryan Stuart said before imposing the sentence. “Attacks on our temples of democracy—our capitols and our courthouses—must be met with swift justice.”
