Ian Benjamin Rogers, of Napa, was sentenced to nine years in prison as part of a plea agreement. He pleaded guilty last year to conspiring to destroy the building in Sacramento by fire or explosives, possessing an explosive device and possessing a machine gun.
Breyer said he took into consideration that report and a three-page handwritten letter submitted by Rogers after his initial sentencing hearing that the judge said he found “sincere” when deciding to accept the plea deal that called for a sentence of seven to nine years in federal prison. “Unfortunately for me, I said a lot of silly stupid things I did not mean while I sat at home and intoxicated,” Rogers said. “I am sorry for all these things I said, but I can assure you I never seriously meant them in any way. They were just dumb, stupid drunken thoughts.”
Hicks said he agreed with the plea deal because the party “has had a long-standing commitment to restorative justice and a deeply held belief in the power and the possibility of redemption for every single person.”
