RICIN LETTERS - CONVICTION

Remember the army veteran and Elvis impersonator who was arrested in May, just after the Boston bombing, on suspicion of sending Ricin-laced letters to Obama and Bloomberg?

He was released shortly after his arrest as investigators uncovered that his pregnant estranged wife, who'd been the one to implicate him, was being deceptive.

Turns out, the wife sent the letters and tried to frame her husband. She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a max of 18 years in prison yesterday. That's a pretty sweet plea deal for trying to kill the president, a mayor, and other government officials, IMO.

Anyway, here's the former couple in happier times.


Nathaniel Richardson (exonerated) and Shannon Guess Richardson (convicted)

What a nut job. She has six sons ranging from 5 months old to 19 years old. Nathaniel Richardson was awarded custody of the baby in August.
