Patrick Dai, copped to one charge in Syracuse federal court where his lawyer mentioned that the online threats were a misguided attempt to reveal the atrocities of Hamas, not to scare Jewish people.
The lawyer highlighted Dai's difficult time due to depression, autism struggles, and a breakdown leading to the ill-advised posts, emphasizing that Dai later apologized and expressed remorse for his actions.
Dai, who has been in custody since October, faces a potential sentence of up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for making threats via interstate communication, with an expected guideline sentencing of 15 to 21 months.
