(A7) US District Court Judge Colleen McMahon decided to shorten the long prison sentences handed down to three men who were convicted of planning to blow up synagogues in New York and shoot down National Guard planes.
Onta Williams, David Williams and Lear Payne were each sentenced to 25 years in prison after being convicted of planning terrorist acts.
She determined that their sentence would be shortened to the period they served in prison and only another 90 days, so that they would be released to their homes in about three months. McMahon determined that the three men fell victim to a plot by FBI agents who tried to persuade the three men to admit that they were planning to carry out the terrorist acts against the synagogues and the National Guard planes.
