BOSTON (AP) - A Massachusetts man who sent threatening letters filled with white powder to President Donald Trump's sons, Antonio Sabato Jr., Sen. Debbie Stabenow and a law professor was sentenced Friday in federal court to five years of probation.
The judge declined to send Daniel Frisiello to prison, as prosecutors had sought, because of concerns the 25-year-old man from Beverly, who is developmentally disabled, would not respond well to incarceration. But he stressed the sentence wasn't "lenient."
"Do not underestimate how serious I am treating your crimes," Judge Nathaniel Gorton said to Frisiello as the dozens of his family members, friends and supporters who had packed the court proceeding hugged, cried and sighed in relief.
Frisiello was also ordered to serve his first year of probation in home confinement, and has been banned for the full five years from accessing the internet or sending mail without prior approval. Frisiello also won't be allowed to have a computer, tablet or other device with access to the internet.

I wonder what sentences powder senders got 2009-2017.
Considering what happened to the Rodeo clown for MAKING FUN of the Fraud....
He will learn his lesson for sure, just a finger wag and say “Now dont you do that again you silly bean” and he will be a good boy/sarc
Imagine if he had sent the same powder to Obama, Clinton, and their spawn what the sentence would have been
80 year old fruitcake chosen by Poppy Bush.
How developmentally disabled is a guy who can sort this out, get the addresses and send this off on his own?
Sure, below average in intelligence—as demonstrated by his doing this and also by his getting caught—but not aware of what he was doing and not aware that it was wrong/illegal?
Lots of folks aren’t cut out for their time in prison, but if they earn it, they serve it.
PROBATION??? He;s a LIBERAL...of COURSE he is mentally challenged!
Once again, leftists use government to protect their own soldiers in this war.
JoMa
Clearly the judge wasn’t wearing his spectacles and believed this guy was actually packing a vagina. Because he got a huge pussy pass.
He wouldnt respond well to incarceration.
Well cripes.
While it’s true, a developmentally disabled person would probably not respond well to prison”, he might respond well to a hospital prison type environment. If he’s THAT disabled, is he able to keep from repeating his crime, or something worse? I do not think that developmentally delayed criminals belong in a regular prison, but they do belong in some type of incarceration.
Juicy Smellit from Sh*tcago will use this as a guideline for his sentencing on similar charges (envelopes filled with tylenol powder)
Then of course Cesar Sayoc will also get probation.
Oh, wait...
he knew how to send these people letters and yet he gets off for supposedly being dd.....right..
By the looks of that man mountain I understand why some folks carry at minimum 45 cal.....
Few people respond well to incarceration.
Both have been told they can’t conduct terror actions for another year.
