Lara Logan tells the full story of Matthew Perna, a man who had never been in trouble before, but was arrested after walking through the Capitol building on January 6. Perna committed suicide In February 2022 at age 37 after he pleaded guilty to felony obstruction of Congress and three misdemeanor charges, believing he would only face 6-12 months in prison. The Department of Justice informed Matthew that they would seek a terrorism enhancement to his sentencing AFTER he pleaded guilty, which would raise his sentence by a potential 5 to 7 more years in federal prison. Four days after receiving news that the DOJ would push for this sentencing enhancement, Matthew went into his garage, put a rope around his neck, and hung himself. The DOJ denied the enhancement was for terrorism after Perna’s death. While Perna threw a water bottle and waved a baton, he was not violent and did he not cause any property damage. He was struck a number of times by the edge of a police shield.
