Oceanside man gets five months in prison for threatening to kill Sen. Chuck Schumer [Breaking]
An Oceanside man who threatened to kill Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York in a voicemail message left at Schumer’s Washington, D.C., office was sentenced Friday to five months in prison.
The caller, who included several antisemitic and homophobic slurs in his message, also stated, “Yeah, you guys are real upset huh? You can’t murder babies anymore.”Schumer’s staff notified police of the message, which was received on May 3, 2022, and came from a phone number attributed to McGuire, according to court documents.
At McGuire’s sentencing hearing on Friday, defense attorney Marc Kohnen sought a time-served sentence for the 18 days McGuire had already spent in custody, arguing that mental health and substance use issues played a large role in the offense. Kohnen also argued that when looking at other cases involving threats to public officials, defendants in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol breach received 45-day sentences on average.
