A Florida woman who pleaded guilty to sending a death threat to the father of a child slain in the Sandy Hook shooting apologized Wednesday before a judge sentenced her to five months in federal prison.
Lucy Richards, 57, acknowledged that the 2012 massacre of 20 children and six staff members was not a hoax, something she’d previously claimed, according to the Sun-Sentinel.
“I don’t know where my head and my heart were that day when I made the calls but they were not in the right place,” said Richards.

She’s accused of leaving three threatening voicemails for Pozner. “You gonna die, death is coming to you real soon,” she said in one message.

She was indicted on four counts of transmitting threats through interstate communications pleading guilty to one.
