Attorneys for a Queens man convicted of making online threats to kill prominent Democratic House members and Senators argued that he’s no longer a threat to society, offering as proof a comic book featuring convicted sex trafficker R. Kelly that he drew while behind bars.
Brendan Hunt, 37, a former court employee from Ridgewood, was found guilty in federal court back in April of lodging several violent threats online before and in the days after the Jan. 6 coup attempt on Capitol Hill, targeting the likes of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Queens/Bronx Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
