Pascale Ferrier had pleaded guilty to violating biological weapons prohibitions in letters sent to Mr Trump and to police officials in Texas.
A Canadian woman has been sentenced to nearly 22 years in prison in Washington over the mailing of a threatening letter containing the poison ricin to then-US president Donald Trump at the White House.
Her defence lawyer Eugene Ohm said Ferrier has no criminal record prior that and is an “inordinately intelligent” French immigrant who had earned a master’s degree in engineering and raised two children as a single parent. She was arrested trying to enter a border crossing in Buffalo, New York, carrying a gun, a knife and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, authorities said.In a winding speech, Ferrier told the judge that she considers herself a “peaceful and genuinely kind person”, but gets angry about problems such as unfairness, abuses of power and “stupid rules”.
