Sophie Roske, who attempted to kill Judge Kavanaugh, was sentenced to 8 years in prison, much less than the 30 years requested by prosecutors.

Sophie Roske, convicted for the attempted murder of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, received a sentence of 8 years in prison and lifetime supervision.
