Anthony Kazmierczak was sentenced Thursday to 14 months in prison after reaching a deal with prosecutors, and he was also sentenced to three years of supervised release, which includes no contact with Ilhan Omar. The sentencing of 56-year-old Anthony Kazmierczak came nearly eight months after the January 27 assault, during which Omar was not injured and continued with the town hall after the arrest.
