Jailed Spam King Caught Conspiring to Kill Witness

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the spam-mafioso dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Spam king Christopher William Smith, aka Rizler, is facing up to life in prison for conspiracy to tamper with a witness and up to 20 years for endeavoring to obstruct justice. The charges are based on an alleged phone call in which he threatened to have a witness or the witness' family killed to prevent them from testifying against him in an upcoming trial on drug and related charges.

    Nobody has been tortured to death recently in Iraq. If you want that you need to go back a few years to the days of Saddam. I know you were making a joke, but do not confuse the US humilation of prisoners with Saddam's actual honest-to-god death-inducing torture.
