ITHACA, NY (CortacaToday) — A former Cornell student will spend over a year in prison for antisemitic threats.
The Cornell Daily Sun reports Patrick Dai was sentenced to 21 months behind bars, plus three years of supervised release. He accepted a plea deal today for the charge of posting threats to kill or injure another using interstate communications.
Last October, Dai threatened a mass shooting at a Jewish dining hall at Cornell.
Today in court, he reportedly showed his remorse.
“It’s all my fault,” Dai said.
His attorney plans to file an appeal.
