U.S. District Court Judge Michael Shipp, in court in Trenton, heard the deal, which is expected to land Lepsky up to 19 years in prison.

Under the plea deal, Lepsky is expected to be given a sentence between 16 and 19 years in prison. Once he completes that sentence, supervised release will be in place for the rest of his life.

Sentencing is scheduled for June 19.

Lepsky admitted in court that he began to formulate a plan on Jan. 17, 2017, to carry out the bombing, authorities said. Lepsky admitted that he went online to find ISIS directives and bomb-making instructions and to buy the pressure cooker and other items for the planned attack.

On Feb. 21, 2017, Lepsky was arrested by the Point Pleasant Police Department after a family member told authorities that Lepsky had a weapon and was threatening to kill the family’s dog.

When police officers arrived, they called Lepsky on his phone and asked him to exit the home. Lepsky eventually came out, bleeding from one of arm.

While paramedics treated him, Lepsky, unprompted, told them he was planning to kill his mother, according to the federal complaint. He also pledged allegiance to Allah, the Arabic word for “God.”

Lepsky said he stabbed the family dog because the dog was “dirty” in his view of Islam.

Police entered Lepsky’s home and found the family dog alive, but with a large slash mark on its back.

Police also found a new pressure cooker behind a roll of bubble wrap in Lepsky’s bedroom closet, as well as books on suicide bombing.

Lepsky said he had joined ISIS and had plane tickets to Turkey, according to the federal complaint. His cellphone had the ISIS flag as its background photo.

On Feb. 22, Lepsky told investigators he was going to buy black musket gunpowder to turn the pressure cooker he purchased into a bomb. Lepsky told authorities he regretted trying to kill his family dog because police wouldn’t have figured out his plan if he hadn’t.

Law enforcement officers also found material published online by another terrorist group that gave specific, step-by-step instructions on how to build a pressure cooker bomb.

They also found a message forwarded by Lepsky from another ISIS supporter stating that if a westerner could not travel to Syria to fight for ISIS, he could conduct a terrorist attack in his home country using improvised explosive devices.

Send him to North Korea, to one of their jails, it will be much more of a deterrent to other would be mischievous muslims. Seeing as how there are talks with North Korea, and private jails are all the rage, it would be good for the economies of both nations to contract penal services to North Korea. There would be no rate of recidivism,

Great idea. A boost to the economy of the DPRK and a most welcome addition to the US penal system.

It is all part of the global village concept, each nation specializes in some things in a spirit of sharing.

Home grown or imported, a moslem is a moslem is a moslem. They are ALL the same.

Well now, some muslims are more ‘same’ than others. Why, some take ‘care’ of donkeys, while others ‘tend’ to goats. Still others prefer to make their women “better” by performing FGM’s. So, you see, every muslim is different under that dirty night shirt.

Interesting argument. I’ll take that under review and give it proper consideration.

NJ is crawling with Muslim trash. Former Gov. Christie couldn’t get enough of them and our new MORE liberal Governor will destroy our state. NJ doesn’t have to announce it is a SANCTUARY state – it is already known to be one.

Plea bargain, with a terrorist? We’re not making progress, we’re going backwards. H-, even “President” Harrison Ford said, “I doesn’t negotiate with terrorists.”

F- this a-hole, firing squad for the terrorist.
