Man pleads guilty to making threats to Newtown residents after school shootings
Man pleads guilty to making threats to Newtown residents after school shootings

MILFORD, Conn. Thu Dec 11, 2014 7:04pm EST
(Reuters) - A man pleaded guilty on Thursday to making more than 90 threatening phone calls to residents of Newtown, Connecticut, two days after a gunman shot to death 26 children and adults there in one of the worst school massacres in U.S. history.
Wilfrido Cardenas Hoffman, 31, a Venezuelan national, is facing five years in prison and a $250,000 fine on charges he randomly phoned people in Newtown and threatened to kill them.
Prosecutors said Cardenas Hoffman claimed during the calls to be Adam Lanza, the gunman who killed his mother and then went to Sandy Hook Elementary School and fatally shot 20 children and six educators before turning a gun on himself.
"This is Adam Lanza. I'm gonna kill you. You're dead. You're dead. You hear me? You're dead. With my machine gun," Cardenas Hoffman said, according to authorities.
A plea agreement presented on Thursday to U.S. District Judge Michael Shea in Hartford would credit Cardenas Hoffman with time served since his arrest in June at Miami International Airport en route to Mexico from his home country.
His plea agreement came three days before the second anniversary of the Dec. 14, 2012, shootings.
As part of the deal, the defendant agreed to undergo psychiatric treatment and return to Venezuela after finishing his sentence. His sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 12.
Jennifer Mellon, his public defender, has said Cardenas Hoffman had received psychiatric care in Venezuela before making the calls.

Venezuelan man who made phone threats to Newtown residents after shooting rampage gets prison
Published February 12, 2015 Associated Press
HARTFORD, Conn. – A man who made threatening phone calls to Newtown residents in the days after the 2012 school shooting rampage has been sentenced to a year in prison.
Wilfrido Cardenas Hoffmann pleaded guilty in December, admitting he made the calls from his home in Venezuela after watching TV news coverage of the massacre.
Cardenas asked for a sentence of time served in light of a need for medical treatment for schizophrenia. Prosecutors didn't make a recommendation on an appropriate sentence.
He was sentenced Thursday in federal court in Hartford.
Cardenas threatened over the phone to kill people following the slaughter of 20 first-graders and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
He was arrested in June as he passed through Miami International Airport on his way from Venezuela to Mexico.
