The man accused of firebombing the Governor’s Mansion earlier this year has pled guilty and was sentenced yesterday morning.
38-year-old Cody Balmer of Harrisburg pled guilty to the ploy to kill Governor Josh Shapiro by attempting to burn down the Governor’s Mansion in April.
The fire was started after molotov cocktails were ignited by Balmer in the home while the Governor and his family were asleep.
Police say that if Balmer saw Shapiro in the home, he planned to attack the Governor with a hammer.
Balmer pled guilty to 49 of the 53 charges brought forward against him including attempted murder. He was sentenced to 25 to 50 years in state correctional facility.
