Letters to judge gets Eastern Iowa women in trouble

December 20, 2005 By admin

An eastern Iowa mother and daughter are sentenced to prison for mailing threatening letters to judges and a lawyer. Sixty-eight-year-old Marlys Floyd of Cedar Rapids and 43-year-old Rebecca Pippert of Keystone were sentenced Monday in district court in Cedar Rapids.

They were found guilty by a federal jury in June on all four counts of mailing threatening communications. Floyd and Pippert are accused of mailing threats to Iowa district court judges in Cedar Rapids, and a Cedar Rapids attorney in March.

The mailings contained a copy of a newspaper article captioned “man who killed himself in van claimed he shot judge’s family,” which was about the killings of the mother and father of a Chicago Federal Court judge. There was also a handwritten note stating “be aware, be fair.” Floyd was sentenced to 33 months in prison and Pippert received a 36-month term. Pippert’s sentence was enhanced after the judge discovered she’d perjured herself during the trial.
