BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — A New York City man accused of harassing relatives of a teacher killed in the Newtown school massacre has been sentenced to two years of probation as part of a plea deal.
Matthew Mills pleaded guilty Monday under the Alford doctrine to interfering with police.
Under the plea, the 32-year-old Mills isn’t admitting guilt but acknowledges the state probably has enough evidence to convict him.
Mills was accused of approaching a sister of slain Sandy Hook Elementary School teacher Victoria Soto during a charity road race in November and angrily claiming the shootings never took place.
Soto was among six educators and 20 first-graders killed Dec. 14, 2012, in Connecticut.
The judge suspended a one-year prison sentence, imposed probation and ordered Mills to stay away from the Soto family.

Yeah, like that will teach him a lesson. System FAIL.
Could this ignorant truther asshole be any more deserving of a blanket party?
Who raised this jerk?
The family should be able to beat the crap out of him for probation
What kind of sick bastard harasses a family who lost a loved one in such a horrendous manner? I don’t think probation is going to cure his mental problems.
