SCRANTON — Jurors have begun deliberations to determine Shawn Christy’s guilt or innocence.
Authorities charged Christy in July 2018 with making threats against President Donald Trump and with three counts of transmitting threats against Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli and other law enforcement officials.
In June 2018, Christy wrote that he would “put a bullet” in the heads of Trump and Morganelli and threatened “lethal force” against police, authorities charged.
Officials also said he fled in a stolen vehicle to New York, near the border with Canada, and broke into several homes and businesses and stole other vehicles as he traveled through West Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland and Ohio.
Authorities finally found him in Ohio in Sept. 21, 2018.
His week-long trial concluded yesterday.
