Gavin Wright, Curtis Allen and Patrick Stein will be sentenced next month for conspiring to blow up an apartment complex in Garden City that was home to many Somali immigrants.

Lawyers representing one of the men convicted of planning to bomb a mosque and an apartment complex in Garden City argue their client was inspired by President Donald Trump’s rhetoric. And, as Frank Morris of the Kansas News Service reports, they want a judge to reduce his prison sentence on those grounds.

The three men convicted of plotting to blow up a Garden City apartment complex are scheduled to be sentenced late next month (NOV.).
