Marc McMain Keyser, the Sacramento man who perpetrated a nationwide anthrax hoax in 2008, was sentenced today to four years and three months in federal prison.
U.S. District Judge Frank C. Damrell Jr. said Keyser "may be dangerous to himself and others," and ordered him taken into custody immediately.
Basing his remarks on the content of Keyser's Internet blog since his conviction last year, the judge said, "He thinks he's a martyr and a messenger of God and a person above the law."
