This Doesn't Happen Every Day, Thank Goodness

From KCTV in Kansas City:
A man was sentenced Wednesday for making threats against a psychologist in an effort to receive Social Security disability benefits, said authorities.

Tyrone L. Holman, 32, of Kansas City, Mo., was sentenced to 40 months in federal prison without parole.

On Oct. 8., Holman pleaded guilt to obstructing federal proceedings before a federal agency.

In December 2008, Holman left threatening voice messages on the answering machine of a psychologist who was supposed to be evaluating his eligibility for title II disability benefits and supplemental security income.

"40 months"

That's a serious sentence.

He must be mentally ill, because who in their right mind would think that making such threats would work.

Really kind of senseless. I knew of a hearing where a clt attacked a psych ME at the hearing. Not sure how much he got, was not my client.

This person probably might be eligible for benefits once he gets out. He is clearly disturbed mentally.
