MCADOO, Pa. - A Schuylkill County man found guilty of threatening the president and Northampton County district attorney will have his sentence pushed back.
Shawn Christy has submitted a motion for acquittal.
In hand-written documents, he spelled out his complaints.
He writes that the cases were "the result of a conspiracy" between authorities. He claims that his "personal property" was seized and never returned.
He says he wants the U.S. Marshal's Service to pay for repairs to his house after they damaged it in a raid. He added to that part, that "even the President is not exempt from the law" and includes "Exhibit Three" - a newspaper clipping with a President Trump headline.
The judge said Christy must supply a brief to go with this motion, and he has 21 days to do that. Then, prosecutors have 21 days to respond. Then, Christy has another 14 days to respond to the prosecution's response.
Christy made headlines for months in 2018 when he went on the run.
He was wanted for making online threats against President Donald Trump and Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli.
He went into hiding, but still managed to post to social media. He was even caught on surveillance a couple of times.
He was finally caught in Ohio and went on trial in November. He represented himself, and had a memorable defense, telling the judge that "he didn't like him" and wasn't happy that he "pushed his buttons."
After he was found guilty on all charges, he went off on a profanity-laced rant.
His sentencing was set for February, but now it's not clear when he will be sentenced.
