COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A 43-year-old Greenville man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for plotting to kill an FBI agent.
U.S. Attorney Walt Wilkins says Dwight Spears was sentenced on Wednesday. In July, a federal jury found Spears guilty of conspiring to kill Special Agent Brian Bryan.
Prosecutors have said Spears was in the Spartanburg County jail when he agreed to help fellow inmate Kenneth Manigan kill Bryan to keep the agent from testifying in Manigan’s drug trial.
A third person, Marielena Ledy Martinez, agreed to post Spears’ bond, give him a weapon and help him find Bryan. But Spears was arrested on an unrelated charge before he could kill Bryan.
Manigan and Martinez have pleaded guilty to conspiracy and will be sentenced later.
Spears’ attorney did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

Reader Reactions
The fbi is the most homicidal band of thugs in the USA (except perhaps those assassins in the cia); we will see more such headlines as this, as the people look for ways to stop the hoodlums of the fbi from torturing, falsely imprisoning and murdering our people.
Finally,
As people discover the immoral, cowardly and macabre character of the agents, operatives, handlers and associates of the fbi/cia (as manifest globally in the killing/torture techniques used by these sociopathic assassins to insure compliance to new world order dictates) we may not reasonably expect a merciful redress from foreign and domestic freedom fighters forced from desperation to employ against US equally aggressive and abhorrent stratagems.
