Chad Conrad Castagana sentenced for anthrax hoax on celebrities and politicians
(Los Angeles, CA) - A man convicted of mailing threatening letters laced with white powder to Keith Olbermann, John Stewart, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and other high-profile figures, was sentenced Tuesday to five years in a community corrections center where he will receive psychiatric treatment and medication. Chad Conrad Castagana, 40, was arrested in November 2006 and charged with conveying false information and sending threats by the U.S. mail. He was convicted last year.
Last month, U.S. District Court Judge Florence-Marie Cooper ordered that prior to sentencing Castagana be examined by Dr. Saul Faerstein, a Beverly Hills psychiatrist in order to provide the court with a diagnosis of Castagana as well as recommendations on treatment. Based on those recommendations, Castagana was remanded for custody to a yet-as-unidentified community corrections center.
