A woman convicted of plotting with her boyfriend to blow up Jewish and black sites in Massachusetts was sentenced to nearly five years in jail. Erica Chase, who was sentenced late last week, apologized for the plot, which has been described as an attempt to launch a racial “holy war.” Chase’s boyfriend, Leo Felton, was sentenced in December to up to 22 years in prison.
