A Napa man who pleaded guilty to plotting to firebomb the state Democratic Party's headquarters and other buildings in Sacramento and the Bay Area must undergo a psychiatric examination, a judge said.
Rogers, of Napa, pleaded guilty in May to conspiring to destroy the building in Sacramento by fire or explosives, possessing an explosive device and possessing a machine gun as part of an agreement that could bring him seven to nine years in federal prison.Breyer rejected the proposed plea agreement, saying he was concerned that Rogers hadn't shown any remorse for his actions
and had told probation officials for a pre-sentencing report that he only felt bad for putting himself in a situation"that allowed the government to destroy my life." The judge said:"I have to say in ... 23 years I've never seen that type of statement. I've never seen a defendant come in and simply say I regret I was caught."
A co-defendant, Jarrod Copeland, previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy and destruction of records. He also was scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 27.
