Lansdale woman can challenge terrorism law for plot against mistress

The Supreme Court recognized today the difference between a lover’s revenge and terrorism. In a hearing today, the court ruled Carol Ann Bond can challenge the anti-terrorism law used to prosecute her for attempting to harm her husband’s mistress.

As the Associated Press reports, Bond was sentenced to six years in prison after admitting to using toxic chemical to try to harm the mistress. But, the court has ruled the 1999 chemical-weapon law should be applied to rogue states and terrorists, not civilian’s domestic affairs.
