Inmate Gets Extra 18 Months for Sen. Clinton Threat
Mon Apr 5, 9:05 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!
PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A federal prisoner was sentenced to an extra 18 months in jail on Friday for threatening to kill former first lady and New York Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites), prosecutors said.
He told a psychologist he made the threat because his life was dull and he wanted some notoriety, they said.
Edward Falvey, 51, admitted to a charge of threatening to kill or inflict bodily harm on Clinton in an effort to gain "15 minutes of fame." He is currently serving a 30-month sentence in a Fairton, New Jersey, prison for bank robbery.
In a letter he wrote last April to a psychologist at the prison, Falvey said he wanted to shoot a famous person so he could acquire a bad reputation.
"I want notoriety in my life. My life is dull and boring. I need to spice it up," he wrote, according to a statement from U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie in Camden, New Jersey.
In another letter he said his "hit list" included Sen. Clinton, former President Bill Clinton (news - web sites), or a U.S. district judge. "Why? Because when I am released I have nothing to look forward to."
He later went into detail about how he was going to stalk Sen. Clinton and shoot her along with a U.S. Secret Service agent outside the senator's New York City office.
