Woman in ricin case could face 18 years

DALLAS — A Texas woman who intends to plead guilty to sending ricin-laced letters to President Barack Obama and New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg agreed to a deal that caps any prison sentence at 18 years, her attorney said Monday.

Under the deal, Shannon Guess Richardson would plead guilty to a federal charge of possessing and producing a biological toxin, her attorney, Tonda Curry, said.

Final details of what Richardson will admit are still being worked out, but Curry said Richardson was ready to admit her role in sending toxic letters to Obama, Bloomberg, and the head of Bloomberg’s pro-gun control group.  More
