"Logan David Patterson, 18, of Plymouth, and Dominick Frank Cardoza, 20, of Bourne, agreed to a plea deal in exchange for prosecutors recommending a lighter sentence, according to court filings."
"The U.S. Attorney's Office said prison time would not be required under the sentencing guidelines outlined in the plea deal, though prosecutors recommended three years of supervised release, an unspecified fine, and full restitution to Harvard."
"Surveillance video showed the pair lighting what appeared to be roman candle fireworks near Harvard Medical School's campus early on Nov. 1, according to charging documents."
"U.S. Attorney Leah Foley previously said Patterson and Cardoza detonated an explosive believed to have been 'a large commercial firework' within a wooden locker inside Goldenson."
Logan Patterson and Dominick Cardoza pleaded guilty to setting off an explosion at Harvard Medical School after Halloween celebrations. They were charged with conspiracy to damage a federally funded building. Under a plea deal, prosecutors recommended three years of supervised release, a fine, and full restitution to Harvard, with no prison time required. Surveillance footage captured them lighting fireworks and accessing the roof of the Goldenson Building, where they detonated the explosive. The incident triggered a fire alarm but resulted in no injuries or damage.
