A Wisconsin man was sentenced late today in federal court in Jackson
to three years in prison for making a threat on the Internet to
assassinate then-President-elect Barack Obama.

Steven Joseph Christopher, 42, faced a maximum five years in prison.

After a nearly daylong sentencing hearing, U.S. District Judge Henry
Wingate imposed the sentence.

Christopher pleaded guilty in July after Wingate agreed with him that
he was competent to stand trial, although the U.S. attorney's office
said a psychologist determined Christopher was mentally incompetent.

Christopher said he never intended to harm Obama. He said he made the
threat to gain attention for his cause that he is the second coming of
Christ and the apocalypse is coming in 2012 and much of the world will
be destroyed.
