A California shyster has been convicted for the second time of a prison plot to kill a federal judge by shoving his body through a wood chipper.
John Arthur Walthall, 66, of Laguna Beach, also sought the murder of several law enforcement officials he believed were responsible for convicting him of a phony gold-mining scheme in 2012, the Orange County Register reports. He was serving a 14-year sentence in federal prison for fraud.
“He wanted these people dead, he obsessed about it,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Fred Sheppard told jurors this week. “He was willing to con whoever it took to make it happen.”
