Overview

• David Dwayne Cassady, 57, pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted malicious use of explosive materials before receiving the sentence.
• U.S. District Judge J. Randal Hall imposed 480 months on each count to run consecutively for a total of 80 years, followed by five years of supervised release, with no parole in the federal system.
• Evidence shows the devices were constructed in a Georgia state prison in Tattnall County and mailed to a federal courthouse in Anchorage and to the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.
• A plea agreement says the bombs were functional and capable of exploding, and the defendant admitted sending them in retaliation for prison conditions.
• Investigators from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, U.S. Marshals Service, FBI Anchorage, Homeland Security Investigations, the Federal Protective Service, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and the Georgia Department of Corrections Office of Professional Standards worked the case.
