Lengthy Sentence Upheld for Man Who Fired at the White House
By REUTERSOCT. 27, 2015
A United States appeals court on Tuesday upheld the 25-year prison sentence of an Idaho man who fired at least eight rounds from a semiautomatic rifle at the White House in 2011. The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found that the man, Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, had waived his right to challenge the length of the sentence when he pleaded guilty in 2013. Prosecutors said Mr. Ortega-Hernandez’s hatred of President Obama spurred his shooting. Mr. Obama and his wife, Michelle, were not in Washington, and no one was hurt. Defense lawyers called Mr. Ortega-Hernandez a confused, desperate man who shot at the White House to draw attention to what he thought was an impending Armageddon.
