A man in Florida pleaded guilty in court on Monday and admitted that he had threatened to assassinate a conservative justice of the Supreme Court.
Sidhwaney’s initial arrest occurred back on August 18th. He could now spend up to five years behind bars.
Neal Sidhwaney, 43, of Fernandina Beach, Florida, admitted to one count of communicating an interstate threat to murder, according to court records.
U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Roberts was identified as the focus of Sidhwaney’s threats in a psychologist’s assessment in September, although the Justice Department oddly left out the targeted high court member in their press release.
Prosecutors claimed that Sidhwaney frequently threatened to kill the justice and he had additionally threatened him by name in a voicemail on July 31st.
“Yeah, hi, my name is Neal Sidhwaney, uh, this message is for [Roberts]…. I will f—king kill you … Go f—king tell the Deputy US Marshals you f—ing p—y,” the perpetrator said, according to records.
“I will f—king talk to them and then I’ll f—ing come kill you anyways, you f—ing c—,” Sidhwaney continued.
Dr. Alan J. Harris’ report from September found Sidhwaney to be competent to stand trial, but it also mentioned that he had been treated with an antipsychotic medication for a “delusional disorder with psychosis.”
“According to his parents, he believes a private agency has been following him. However, his paranoia began in 2017 when he left Google,” Harris noted in his report, highlighting that Sidhwaney had previously worked as a programmer at Google for about eight years.
“According to his mother, he becomes enraged watching the news, which triggers him to write letters and emails or to make phone calls,” the psych professional added.
“Sleep is disturbed as he will stay up to [3] a.m. and then sleep late,” Harris continued.
Additionally, Sidhwaney “has expressed the belief that Google planted a chip in his head and foot.”
The vote to overturn Roe v. Wade last year has reportedly increased security worries surrounding certain justices.
Nicholas Roske, a man from California who was 26-years-old at the time, was arrested near conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s residence in Maryland in June 2022, after authorities charged Roske of conspiring to assassinate Kavanaugh.
President Biden also approved legislation that same month in order to provide extra security measures to the families of Supreme Court justices.

Title: Man Pleads Guilty to Threatening to Assassinate Supreme Court Justice
Date: Tuesday, December 19, 2023
A man from Florida has pleaded guilty in court to threatening the life of a conservative justice of the Supreme Court. Neal Sidhwaney, aged 43, from Fernandina Beach, admitted to the charge of communicating an interstate threat to murder, according to court records.
The initial arrest of Sidhwaney took place on August 18th, and now he could face up to five years behind bars for his actions. The focus of his threats was identified as U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, as revealed in a psychologist’s assessment in September. However, it is peculiar that the Justice Department did not mention the specific high court member targeted in their press release.
Prosecutors claim that Sidhwaney made frequent threats to kill the justice and specifically mentioned him by name in a threatening voicemail on July 31st. According to records, Sidhwaney said, “Yeah, hi, my name is Neal Sidhwaney, uh, this message is for [Roberts]… I will f—king kill you… Go f—king tell the Deputy US Marshals you f—king p—y.” He continued, “I will f—king talk to them and then I’ll f—ing come kill you anyways, you f—ing c—.”
Psychologist Dr. Alan J. Harris’ report from September indicated that Sidhwaney was competent to stand trial but also mentioned that he had been treated with antipsychotic medication for a “delusional disorder with psychosis”. The report mentioned that Sidhwaney’s paranoia began in 2017 when he left his job as a programmer at Google, where he had worked for eight years. His parents reported that he believed a private agency had been following him.
According to the report, Sidhwaney becomes enraged while watching the news, which triggers him to write letters, emails, or make phone calls. His sleep pattern is disturbed, with him staying up until 3 a.m. and then sleeping late in the morning. Additionally, Sidhwaney has expressed the belief that Google implanted a chip in his head and foot.
The concerns over the security of certain justices have reportedly heightened since the vote to overturn Roe v. Wade last year. Another instance that raised security worries was the arrest of Nicholas Roske, a 26-year-old man from California who was apprehended near conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s residence.
Threats against members of the Supreme Court are not only illegal but also an affront to the integrity of the justice system. Such incidents highlight the importance of ensuring the safety of the justices who play a crucial role in upholding the rule of law and preserving democracy.
It is essential that all threats against public officials, including Supreme Court justices, are taken seriously, investigated thoroughly, and the perpetrators are held accountable for their actions. Preserving the independence and integrity of the judiciary is vital for a functioning democracy, and any threats to this principle must be addressed promptly and effectively.
