A | FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- A California property manager was sentenced to a year in federal prison for sending more than 200 vile online messages to a father of a teenage girl who died in the 2018 massacre at Florida's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. James Catalano, 62 of Fresno, was sentenced Friday by U.S. District Judge Robert Scola in Miami after pleading guilty in March to cyberstalking. Prosecutors called the messages he sent Fred Guttenberg “callous and cruel.”Guttenberg's 14-year-old daughter Jaime Guttenberg was murdered in the Feb. 14, 2018, shooting in Parkland that left 14 students and three staff members dead. Catalano also received three years probation and must undergo mental health treatment. Catalano sent Guttenberg messages for eight months starting in December 2021 that celebrated Jaime Guttenberg's death and reveled in the wounds she suffered. He also mocked the sadness and loss Guttenberg feels and directed obscenities, slurs and disturbing insults to him and his daughter. Catalano told investigators he was angry at Guttenberg for his outspoken advocacy for stronger gun laws since his daughter's death. He told them he believed Guttenberg was using his daughter's death “to push his political agenda” and was “trying to put (Guttenberg) in check by sending him the messages.”“By his own admission, the defendant was motivated to stalk the victim and send him heinous messages simply because he disagreed with the victim’s political views,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Arielle Klepach wrote in court documents. “He capitalized on the victim’s grief and the horrific nature of his daughter’s death in order to silence him.” She wrote that Catalano sent similar messages to others, but he has not been charged in those cases. Guttenberg said Monday that the sentence “is a big deal” and sends a message to those who cyberstalk the families of shooting victims that they will be caught and punished. He said Judge Scola agreed that while none of the messages contained a direct threat, in their totality they constituted one. Catalano's attorneys did not immediately return a call Monday seeking comment. The former student who murdered Jaime Guttenberg and the others is serving a life sentence.。 함께 기소된 공무원들 선고유예 최윤홍 전 부산시교육청 부교육감. 국제신문 DB지난해 4·2 부산시교육감 재선거를 앞두고 교육청 공무원을 선거 준비에 동원한 혐의로 재판에 넘겨진 최윤홍 전 부산시교육청 부교육감이 항소심에서도 피선거권 상실에 해당하는 형을 받았다.부산고법 형사2부(부장판사 박운삼)는 26일 지방교육자치에 관한 법률 위반 등 혐의로 기소된 최 전 부교육감에 대한 검찰과 피고인 측 항소를 모두 기각했다. 이에 따라 1심이 선고한 징역 10개월에 집행유예 2년이 유지됐다.항소심 재판부는 최 전 부교육감이 2심에서 범행을 인정한 점을 고려하면서도 형을 낮출 사정은 되지 않는다고 판단했다. 재판부는 최 전 부교육감이 교육감 후보 출마 직전까지 교육감 권한대행으로 근무한 점을 이용해 선거에 필요한 자료를 확보했다고 지적했다. 오랜 기간 교육공무원으로 근무해 정치적 중립 의무와 그 중요성을 잘 알면서도 자신의 선거상 이익을 위해 범행한 점도 불리한 사정으로 봤다. 최 전 부교육감은 지난해 3월 재선거를 앞두고 교육청 공무원에게 선거운동 기획과 실시에 관여하도록 한 혐의로 기소됐다. 재판부는 함께 기소된 공무원 2명에 대해서는 양형이 무겁다는 주장을 받아들였다. 이들에게 내려진 1심의 징역 6개월에 집행유예 2년을 파기하고 각각 징역 6개월의 선고를 유예했다. 선고유예 뒤 2년이 지나면 형 선고의 효력이 사실상 사라진다.。
