Prisoner charged in threat to Sen. Clinton
Authorities say a federal inmate in N.J. had a hit list that included her and former President Bill Clinton.
By John Shiffman
Inquirer Staff Writer



CAMDEN - A South Jersey prison inmate has been charged with threatening to kill U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Federal authorities said the man had a violent past and figured an assassination would bring him fame.

<snip>

In 1977, Falvey was arrested and charged with threatening to kill then-President Jimmy Carter. Falvey was convicted and received probation.
According to the Secret Service, Falvey allegedly wrote a letter to a prison psychologist in April 2003 in which he said he wanted to "shoot a very famous person... . My life is dull and boring. I need to spice it up."
His plans included a "hit list" naming Clinton, as well as former President Bill Clinton, and federal judges, Carle said, as well as detailed plans for shooting the senator.
In another letter, Falvey allegedly explained himself: "Why? Because when I am released, I have nothing to look forward to! This could be how my 15 minutes of fame starts... . I'll also make it into history books."

<snip>
Falvey allegedly repeated his assertion to Secret Service agents who visited him in prison in July. After the agents left, Falvey allegedly wrote to the prison psychologist: "This is all starting to get exciting... . I feel like a movie star."
