Five extremists were sentenced for their connection to a young child’s death and terrorism plot against the United States.
Four of them — Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, his sisters Hujrah Wahhaj and Subhanah Wahhaj, and Subhanah’s husband, Lucas Morton — must spend the rest of their days in the federal prison system.
The fifth, would-be prophet Jany Leveille, received 15 years in prison. She had pleaded guilty to conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and being in possession of a firearm while unlawfully in the United States. U.S. District Judge William Johnson at the sentencing on March 6 noted that Leveille had gotten treatment for acute schizophrenia after her 2018 arrest, took competency evaluations, and had started taking medication, according to The Associated Press. Originally from Haiti, Leveille faces deportation after her prison term.
