HEre's the interesting part.
Faced with the possibility of 20 years in federal prison, Schoenfeld pleaded guilty to one of two threat-related charges in September — forgoing her right to a trial by jury but ensuring that prosecutors would recommend she be spared from prison.
"This was a lady in a condo that was watching too much MSNBC and got carried away," her defense attorney Mark McMann said Wednesday. "We agreed the probation and the embarrassment was enough. She's been through enough."
McMann added that the probation recommendation was even green-lighted by the Secret Service and Trump. Under the federal Victims' Rights and Restitution Act, prosecutors have an obligation to inform victims or their representatives of any plea bargain, as well as their right to appear in court.
Neither Trump nor his representative attended Tuesday's sentencing hearing, McMann said.
McMann said the hearing was the third time in his 35-year career that he's seen a judge sentence a defendant to more time in prison than prosecutors recommended.

Death threats are no laughing matter. I should know. The reason NS hasn't posted lately, is because I had him sent to prison for his death threats against me. But I still don't feel safe. Pretty embarrassing, after all those times I said I'd feel safe after so and so went to prison. Turns out, not so much. Maybe concentration camps and forced labor would make me feel safe. I'm not sure. I know Trump will amp up the punishments though. That's why I voted for him.
