Texas federal inmate John W. Manning may have a little advice for prisoners hoping to get out on time: Don’t threaten to kill the judge.
Authorities alleged that Manning did just that. He was indicted by a federal grand jury in San Antonio in May after he allegedly sent a threatening letter to U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia. He made his initial appearance in court on Thursday.
Manning, who was a prisoner in Beeville, Tex. was upset about his theft conviction and indicated he planned to harm the judge when he was released from prison on July 22, federal authorities alleged.
Doesn’t look like that’s gonna happen.
