BOSTON (AP) — A
man convicted of leading an
Islamic State-inspired plot
to behead a conservative
blogger who upset Muslims
when she organized a
Prophet
Muhammad
cartoon
contest
was
sentenced on Tuesday to 28
years in prison.
David Wright sobbed as
he apologized to blogger
Pamela Geller, law enforce-
ment and his family and
denounced the terror group,
whose horrific acts he used
to celebrate online.
“Nothing I can say can
fix the hurt I caused,” the
28-year-old Wright said.
“I sincerely hope that I can
be given the opportunity
to help others avoid the
mistakes I made.”
Wright was convicted
in October of conspiracy
to provide material support
to the Islamic State group,
conspiracy to commit acts
of terrorism transcending
national boundaries and
other crimes.
Prosecutors had sought
a life sentence for Wright,
arguing it would send a
strong message to others
considering terror attacks in
the U.S. But Judge William
G. Young said he was
uncomfortable with sending
Wright away for life,
telling him: “You are not a
monster, yet you embraced
a monstrous evil.”
Prosecutors portrayed
Wright, who’s from Everett,
just north of Boston, as the
ringleader of the conspiracy
to kill Geller, who has spear-
headed scores of events

In this June 2015 courtroom sketch, David Wright,
second from left, is depicted standing before Magis-
trate Judge Donald Cabell, left, with attorney Jessica
Hedges, second from right, and Nicholas Rovinski,
right, during a hearing in federal court in Boston.
Blogger Pamela Geller
arrives Tuesday at federal
court in Boston for the
sentencing hearing for
David Wright.
across the nation to decry
Islamic extremism. The
cartoon contest Geller orga-
nized in Garland, Texas, in
2015 ended in gunfire, with
two Muslim gunmen shot to
death by police.
The plot to behead
Geller, of New York, was
never carried out. Instead,
Wright’s uncle Ussamah
Rahim told Wright on a
recorded phone call that he
decided to go after “those
boys in blue,” referring to
police. Wright told his uncle
that was “beautiful” and
encouraged him to delete all
the data from his computer
before carrying out his
attack.
Hours later, Rahim was
fatally shot by authorities
after he lunged at them
with a knife when they
approached him in Boston.
Geller, who spoke at
and documents that encour-
aged violence against Amer-
icans, including a manifesto
that said America’s days are
“numbered.” In court docu-
ments, they accused him of
trying to “deceive” the court
into believing that he never
meant any harm.
“His actions gravely
threatened the lives of inno-
cent Americans,” Assistant
U.S. Attorney Stephanie
Siegmann said.
Wright, who weighed
more than 500 pounds when
he was arrested, testified
during the trial that he
started sharing Islamic State
propaganda because he was
desperate for attention and
an escape. But he said the
plan to kill Geller was just
“trash talk” and claimed he
never believed his uncle
was serious about attacking
police.

Wright’s sentencing, urged
the judge to sentence him to
life and said it was “impos-
sible to overstate the devas-
tation” he had brought to
her life. Geller said she had
been forced to live in fear
and spend tens of thousands
of dollars on security.
“There is no assurance
that anyone can give me
that he would not resume
his quest to kill me and my
relatives,” she said.
Wright’s
attorneys
had asked for a 16-year
sentence, saying he should
be given the chance to
redeem himself after serving
his time. Wright insisted
he never really wanted to
hurt anyone but pretended
to support the Islamic State
group to get attention online.
Prosecutors said Wright
collected dozens of grue-
some Islamic State videos
