Man who wanted to blow up Democratic HQ must have psych exam

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A judge has ordered a psychiatric examination for a California man who pleaded guilty to plotting to firebomb the state Democratic Party’s headquarters and other buildings in Northern California. A federal judge in San Francisco issued the order last Friday for Ian Rogers of Napa. His Oct. 27 sentencing date was postponed. Rogers acknowledged that he conspired to attack targets associated with Democrats after former President Donald Trump’s reelection defeat in 2020. The same judge last month rejected a plea agreement that could have meant a lesser sentence for Rogers, saying he hadn’t appeared to show any remorse for his actions — except for getting caught.
