Southern California Black Lives Matter activist Jasmine Richards was sentenced to 90 days in jail Tuesday just days after being convicted of interfering with an arrest under a law that once described her action as “lynching.”

Richards was arrested by Pasadena, Calif, police officers last year when a woman who had allegedly left a restaurant without paying joined her and a group who had gathered in a nearby park. Prosecutors say Richards tried to start a riot when police tried to arrest the woman. Richards was taken into custody by police several days later.

Richards was convicted under a 1933 California Penal Code that had once read: “The taking by means of a riot of any person from the lawful custody of any peace officer is a lynching.”
