Forty-nine-year-old John Mark Reidle, of Aurora, was sentenced Thursday in federal court in Springfield. He previously admitted to falsely claiming he was buying the gun for himself on a federal form on April 9, 2014.
Four days later, convicted killer Frazier Glenn Miller killed three people in Overland Park, Kansas. Miller said he was targeting Jews but none of the victims were Jewish.
The Joplin Globe (http://bit.ly/1ZnjPND ) reports that Judge Beth Phillips said Miller took advantage of Reidle’s limited intellectual ability.
Reidle will be confined at home during the first six months of his sentence.
