An unusual terrorism case in Chicago came to a close Thursday when a federal judge handed a seven-and-a-half-year prison sentence to a former DePaul University student who tried to aid the Islamic State with a computer script.
Before he was sentenced, Thomas Osadzinski, 23, told U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman that, “I failed everyone, and I failed myself.” He told the judge, “I was in a dark place when all of this happened and, looking back, I see how alone I felt.”
