Prisoner aimed to kill Hillary
January 4, 2004 - 2:05PM
A convicted bank robber who told a prison psychologist he wanted to "spice up" his life by shooting a famous person has admitted threatening to kill US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, officials said.
Edward Falvey, 51, pleaded guilty to a charge of threatening to kill an immediate family member of a former president, a federal crime that carries a penalty of up to five years in prison and a $US250,000 ($A333,778.37) fine. No sentencing date has been set, according to Greg Reinert, a spokesman with the US Attorney's office.
In 1977, Falvey was arrested and charged with threatening to kill then-President Jimmy Carter. Falvey was convicted and received probation.
According to the Secret Service, Falvey wrote an April 2003 letter to a prison psychologist in which he said he wanted to "shoot a very famous person. ... My life is dull and boring. I need to spice it up."
