Tenn. Man Sentenced To 4 Months For Threatening Ohio Congressman During Health Care Debate
A Tennessee man has received four months in prison for threatening an Ohio congressman during last year's heated health care debate.

A federal judge in Akron, Ohio, sentenced 40-year-old James Schmidlin of Cleveland, Tenn., on Friday. Schmidlin also faces three years of probation.

He was convicted in December of making a March 2010 phone call to the office of then-U.S. Rep. John Boccieri (boh-CHEHR'-ee) threatening to burn down the northeast Ohio Democrat's house.

Prosecutors recommended 14 months in prison.

another victim of Fox propaganda ensnared in the legal system.
