BALTIMORE — Federal prosecutors are seeking an 18-year prison sentence for Sarah Beth Clendaniel, 36, who pleaded guilty to trying to blow up power stations around Baltimore to destabilize the government in a white supremacist plot.
WJZ Investigator Mike Hellgren spoke exclusively to the defendant’s mother Friday.
Lanette Clendaniel said the sentence recommendation for her daughter is in line with the 15 to 20 years her daughter expected.
She previously told Hellgren she does not agree with her daughter’s Neo-Nazi beliefs .
Transcripts of recorded phone conversations between Sarah Beth Clendaniel and a confidential informant reveal she was trying to obtain a high-powered rifle to shoot through substations in Reisterstown, Perry Hall, White Marsh, and more locations.
“If we could do all these in a day…it would completely destroy this whole city,” Clendaniel said in the recordings.
