GA man gets 80 years in prison for mailing bombs to federal buildings he built while behind bars

A Georgia man has been sentenced to 80 years in federal prison for mailing bombs to federal buildings.

David Dwayne Cassady, 57, pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted malicious use of explosive materials after constructing and sending explosive devices to the U.S. Courthouse in Anchorage, Alaska, and the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.

“This defendant’s devices were not only a threat to the recipients, but to every individual that unknowingly transported and delivered them,” said U.S. Attorney Bryan Stirling for the District of South Carolina.

United States District Judge J. Randal Hall imposed the sentence, which consists of two consecutive 480-month terms, followed by a five-year term of court-ordered supervision.
