Muslim Terrorist Daoud Wright Re-Sentenced For Plot To Behead Pamela Geller, GETS ADDITIONAL YEARS ADDED ON

Daoud Wright was found guilty of multiple charges in an Islamic plot to behead me, they “reached five verdicts in six hours.. One of those charges was conspiring to support a terrorist organization. — that was the one chucked – which was madness because there was extensive support and communication with ISIS jihadis here and abroad.

There never should have been a re-sentencing. The good news is –  got 30 years, an additional two more years over the original sentence.

Daoud Wright is a former Islamic State (ISIS) operative in Boston who was the ringleader of a plot to behead me. In December 2017, he was found guilty on five counts in this terrorist plot against me, which involved Wright maintaining close contact with and even financing a major American ISIS leader, Zulfi Hoxha. Yet, one of those convictions was overturned. Federal Appeals Court Justice David J. Barron said Wright “could have been simply been ‘role-playing’ with respect to following ISIS’s direction.”

Back when Wright was convicted, the jury didn’t think Wright was just “role-playing.” They brought the verdict in swiftly: according to WBUR, they “reached five verdicts in six hours.” Acting U.S. Attorney William Weinreb said: “Mr. Wright is a terrorist, an ISIS supporter and recruiter who intended to wage war against the United States by beheading people and killing Americans.”

Islamic State’s 2015 instructional manual for its Western supporters, “How to Survive in the West,” includes references to video games as a method of training to join the group. More importantly, it may have brought together Wright and Hoxha, who unlike Wright successfully followed through on his intentions to support the Islamic State using violence… During Wright’s trial, prosecutors argued that he used several video games, including Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and other titles to “virtually prepare” for jihad. His defense attorneys, however, painted Wright, who weighed over 400 pounds at the time of the conspiracy, as a “fat, failed loser” who used video games as a substitute for real-life violent activity, according to the trial transcript. Unfortunately, one can be both a gamer who veers towards violence and weigh in at 400 pounds of loneliness and isolation…..

Daoud Wright re-sentenced for plot to kill Pamela Geller

David Daoud Wright ordered to 30 years in prison for conspiring to kill Pamela Geller, an anti-Muslim public figure.

By: Al Jazeera, September 30, 2021:

A man convicted of leading a plot to behead blogger and anti-Muslim public figure Pamela Geller on behalf of the ISIL (ISIS) group will serve even longer behind bars after he was sentenced for a second time Monday and ordered to 30 years in prison.

David Daoud Wright was originally sentenced to 28 years in prison in 2017 but was ordered to be sentenced again by a different Boston federal court judge after an appeals court last year overturned one of his convictions. Wright remains convicted of conspiracy to commit acts of “terrorism transcending national boundaries” and other crimes.

Wright, who is from Everett, north of Boston, has already served about five years for conspiring to kill Geller, who organised a 2015 Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest that year in Garland, Texas that ended in gunfire, with two Muslim gunmen shot to death by police. The beheading plot against Geller was never carried out.

Days later, Wright’s uncle, Ussamah Rahim, told Wright in a phone call that he could not wait to attack Geller and decided instead to go after “those boys in blue”. Hours later, Rahim was approached by officers in a Boston parking lot and was fatally shot after he pulled out a knife and moved towards them, officials say.

Prosecutors had once again urged the judge to send Wright away for life, calling him in court documents “extremely dangerous” and “a serious threat to the United States”.

Wright’s lawyers had asked for a sentence of 14 years. They argued in their brief to the judge that, among other things, the coronavirus pandemic puts his life at risk behind bars. They said Wright “continues to renounce ISIS and radicalism” and “seeks to educate others about the destructiveness of radicalism”.

An email seeking comment was sent to a lawyer for Wright after the hearing.

Wright took the stand at his trial and insisted he never really wanted to hurt anyone. He told jurors that he did not actually support ISIL and said his conversations about violence were just “trash talk” driven by a desperate desire for attention.

The 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals last year tossed his conviction of the charge of conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organisation.

Another man charged in the case, Nicholas Rovinski, of Warwick, Rhode Island, was released from prison last month after a judge reduced his sentence to time served due to the pandemic.

Rovinski, who testified against Wright at his trial, was previously supposed to be released in 2028, but his lawyers argued that the 29-year-old’s medical conditions, including cerebral palsy and hypertension, made him particularly vulnerable to serious illness from the virus.
