The Sacramento Bee reports:
One of the two Donald Trump supporters accused of plotting to firebomb Sacramento’s state Democratic headquarters building is asking a federal judge to accept a plea deal that would net him up to nine years in prison, and “begging you for a chance to redeem myself.”
In a four-page handwritten letter filed in court in San Francisco, Ian Benjamin Rogers begs Senior U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer to accept his word that he regrets his actions and deserves a chance to rebuild his life after prison.
“I am 47 years old,” Rogers wrote in a letter dated Oct. 7 and filed in court Wednesday. “I have never been in trouble before. I am begging you for a second chance. And, I’m begging you to believe me when I tell you that I know I was wrong, that I made a humongous mistake, and that I deserve to be punished.”
