Woman charged in Sandy Hook parent threat arrested
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TAMPA, Fla. Apr 3, 2017, 12:06 PM ET
The woman accused of sending death threats to a man whose 6-year-old son was killed in the 2012 mass shooting at a school in Newtown, Connecticut, has been arrested after failing to show up in court.
Jail records show 57-year-old Lucy Richards was arrested on Saturday in Hillsborough County in the Tampa Bay area.
A judge issued an arrest warrant March 29 after Richards failed to show up in federal court in Fort Lauderdale for a change-of-plea hearing and sentencing.
She was set to plead guilty to a charge of interstate transmission of a threat to injure for threatening Lenny Pozner, the father of Noah Pozner who died in the shooting at the Sandy Hook school. Prosecutors said she told them she believed the shooting was a hoax.

I am so tired of reading and hearing their shit. I come across it time to time about Boston . I have colleagues that were there. One was in the hospital for weeks. This crap pisses me off to no end.

the people who create the conspiracy theories are of more sound mind than the people that believe them. They often create them for a political reason, in this case I would bet it's a pro-gun agenda. They victimized the target of the threat and also this woman, as awful and stupid as she is.
