Sentencing Scheduled Today in Texas Cyanide Case

A Texas man is scheduled to be sentenced today after pleading guilty to possessing a large stockpile of cyanide, according to the Associated Press (see GSN, March 15).

William Krar, 63, pleaded guilty last year to one count of possessing a dangerous chemical weapon. While he could be sentenced to life in prison, officials have said he is more likely to receive a sentence of less than 20 years under federal guidelines, AP reported (Associated Press/Houston Chronicle, May 4).
