A New York man has been handed an 18-month prison sentence for threatening to kill the judge overseeing the criminal case against former national security adviser, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.

During a court hearing on Monday, U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden said that the length of Frank Caporusso’s sentence reflected the “despicable” nature of his death threat toward U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan last year.
