In connection with the sending of a threatening letter carrying poisonous ricin to then-President Donald Trump at the White House, a Canadian woman was convicted to approximately 22 years in jail in Washington on Thursday.
In emails to Trump and Texas police officers, where she was imprisoned for a few weeks in 2019, Pascale Ferrier, 56, admitted to breaking the ban on biological arms.
According to Ferrier’s defense lawyer Eugene Ohm, she has never been arrested before and is an “excessively intelligent” French immigrant with a master’s degree in engineering and brought 2 kids on her own.
However, according to the prosecution, Ferrier created a possible fatal poison known as ricin at his house in Quebec in September 2020 and sent it to Trump along with a letter referring to him as “The Ugly Tyrant Clown” and stating, in part, that if it didn’t work, “I’ll discover a more effective method for an additional poison, or I could pull out my gun while I’ll be capable to come.”
