A Texas actress who sent ricin-laced letters
to US President Barack Obama and the New York City mayor then tried to
blame the crime on her soon-to-be ex-husband has been sentenced to 18
years in prison.
“After he left the house, I printed the
mailing labels for President Barack Obama, New York City Mayor Michael
Bloomberg, and Mark Glaze with The Raben Group,” she said in the
document. At the time, Glaze was director of Mayors Against Illegal
Guns, Bloomberg’s group advocating for tougher gun control.
The letter to Mr Obama read, “What’s in this
letter is nothing compared to what ive got in store for you mr
president,” according to the document. “You will have to kill me and my
family before you get my guns. Anyone wants to come to my house will get
shot in the face.”
After mailing the letters, she admitted to trying to blame her husband and lying to authorities.
Richardson had minor roles in the television series The Walking Dead and the movie The Blind Side. She also is the mother of six children – including one born prematurely while she was in custody.
