Pascale Ferrier admitted that she made ricin at her residence in Quebec in September 2020.Pascale Ferrier, the South Shore woman who tried to send a poison letter to Donald Trump while he was the U.S. president, is facing the possibility of spending more than 21 years in prison after she pleaded guilty Wednesday in a courthouse in Washington, D.C.
Friedrich scheduled a sentencing hearing for April 26, when Ferrier will be sentenced to 262 months in prison if the court accepts the plea agreements presented on Wednesday. Ferrier admitted that she made ricin at her St-Hubert residence in September 2020. The poison was placed in several envelopes that were mailed off to the U.S., including the one sent to the White House.
Ferrier also wrote in the letter to Trump: “Give up and remove your application for this election. So I made a ‘Special Gift’ for you to make a decision. This gift is in this letter. If it doesn’t work, I’ll find better recipe for another poison, or I might use my gun when I’m able to come.”While authorities in the U.S. were trying to find out who sent the letter, Ferrier showed up at a border crossing in New York and told border agents she had sent it.
She was charged with having a fake Texas driver’s licence “with intent that it be taken as a genuine governmental record.” On May 17, 2019, the case against her was dismissed because it was her first offence and because she had already served 20 days behind bars. No charges related to the handgun were filed against her.
