Trial begins in Cedar Rapids case of alleged presidential threat
In Cedar Rapids federal court a 37 year old California native Fred Anthony Frederickson faces three charges of threatening to kill the president. If convicted he could receive up to 15 years and a $15 000 fine. The case stems from his fall in Cedar Rapids when he pitched a tent near the Corn Sweeteners plant and allegedly threatened to sue or kill the president.
