@534Guess the bad ass heavy metal guitarist act doesn't carry any weight with "the fellas" in lock up.
Iced Earth guitarist Jon Schaffer, who recently pleaded guilty for his involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol Riot, was apparently assaulted with human feces while behind bars. Schaffers lawyer recently went into detail about the alleged incident, claiming Schaffer also received death threats while locked up.
Schaffer became one of the faces of the attempted insurrection after a photo of him inside the Capitol Building began making the rounds. Schaffer turned himself in to authorities on Jan. 17 and ultimately spent 89 days in jail before being released to await sentencing.
The guitarist and Oathkeeper member pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding of Congress and Trespassing on restricted grounds of the Capitol while armed with a deadly or dangerous weapon. Though Schaffer could spend up to 30 years in prison, CNN reports that prosecutors and Schaffers defense team have agreed to recommend between 3.5 and 4.5 years of prison time. The sentence will ultimately be decided by Judge Amit Mehta.
