Texas Woman Sentenced to 3 Years for Threatening Judge in Trump Case

The sentencing highlights increased threats against judiciary amid Trump's legal battles.

Tiffani Shea Gish of Houston was sentenced to 37 months in prison for threatening to assassinate U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon.
Gish's threats were part of a worrying trend of increased threats against judges and officials involved in Donald Trump's legal cases.
Following her prison term, Gish will serve three years of supervised release, emphasizing concerns for public safety and judiciary protection.
The case underscores the judiciary's role in upholding democratic institutions against threats.
Gish pleaded guilty in November 2023, and her sentencing sends a strong message against undermining democratic institutions.
