A former programmer for Google in Fernandina Beach, Florida, was sentenced to 14 months in federal prison Tuesday for leaving a profane voicemail with the U.S. Supreme Court in which he threatened to kill Chief Justice John Roberts.

According to court documents, Neal Brij Sidhwaney, 43, placed a telephone call from Florida to the high court on July 31, 2023 in which he said the following:

Yeah hi, my name is Neal Sidhwaney, uh, this message is for [Justice Roberts] … I will f—— kill you … Go f—— tell the Deputy U.S. Marshals you f—— p—-. I will f—— talk to them and then I’ll f—— come kill you anyways, you f—— c—.

Roberts was not named in the indictment, but was named in a psychological evaluation submitted in the case as part of the court proceedings.

The case was then investigated by the Supreme Court police and the U.S. Capitol Police and Sidhwaney was indicted on a charge of violating 18 U.S.C.§ 875, which prohibits the interstate transmission of threats.
