New Hampshire Man on Trial for Threatening Presidential Candidates Found Dead During Verdict Deliberation
A New Hampshire man accused of threatening the lives of presidential candidates last year has been found dead while a jury was deliberating his verdict, according to court filings. Tyler Anderson, 30, of Dover, was on trial for sending threats using interstate commerce. The trial began on Monday, and the jury began deliberating on Tuesday.
The U.S. Attorney’s office did not disclose the names of the candidates who were targeted by Anderson. However, when he was arrested, a spokesperson for Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy stated that the threatening texts were directed at his campaign.
Anderson had been indicted by a federal grand jury in December on three counts of sending threats using interstate commerce. His lawyer has not commented on his death, and it has not been revealed how Anderson died.
The sudden death of Anderson while the jury was deciding his verdict has shocked both the legal community and the public. The case highlights the serious nature of threats against political figures and the importance of holding individuals accountable for such actions.
The investigation into Anderson’s threats and his subsequent death remain ongoing. The Associated Press will continue to monitor this story as more information becomes available.
