Man sent bomb to Chicago penile surgery doc
April 7, 2006
PHILADELPHIA -- A man pleaded guilty to weapons of mass destruction charges for sending a bomb to a Chicago surgeon he said botched his penile enlargement surgery.
Brett Steidler, 25, of Reamstown, Pa., mailed the device in February 2005 because he was "extremely unhappy with the results" of the $8,000 surgery, a federal prosecutor said in court filings.
But Steidler alerted authorities before the bomb arrived and it was disarmed. His attorney, Luis Ortiz, said Steidler is mentally ill and noted the difference between the roughly 2-year sentence for mailing a letter bomb and the 4- to 8-year sentence for using WMD.
"You shouldn't group this guy with people who drive truckloads of explosives to buildings," he said.
