Cowart
A man accused of planning to kill President Barack Obama and engage in a “killing spree” against African-Americans has been sentenced to life in prison by American prosecutors. The man was sentenced in a federal courtroom in Tennessee. Daniel Cowart, of Bells, Tennessee, admitted to conspiring with Paul Schlesselman of West Helena, Arkansas, in planning to kill more than 100 African-Americans, according to the Justice Department.
The two are self-described white supremacists who met online through a mutual friend, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Jackson, Tennessee, has said.
The men were arrested in October 2008 after an aborted robbery attempt outside Jackson, according to court records. Cowart pleaded guilty in March to threatening to kill and inflict bodily harm upon a Mr. Obama , conspiracy, intentional damage to religious property, discharge of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, and multiple gun charges related to carrying a sawed-off shotgun across state lines.
His co-conspirator Schlesselman pleaded guilty in January to conspiracy, threatening to kill and inflict bodily harm upon the president , and one count of possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. Schlesselman was sentenced in April to 10 years in prison. Cowart faces up to 75 years in prison under his plea agreement, the Justice Department said.
