The man who authorities say schemed to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh last week had texted his sister before he abandoned his plot, police said.
“The suspect arrived by taxi and observed the U.S. marshals, and he turned around to contemplate his next move,” Montgomery County Police Chief Marcus Jones told the Washington Post. “This is when he texted his sister and told her of his intentions, and she convinced him to call 911, which he did.”
