Cody Balmer, 38, pleaded guilty to attempted murder and multiple charges related to an arson attack on the Pennsylvania governor's mansion, which he carried out on April 13, shortly after a Passover celebration. During the incident, he used beer bottles filled with gasoline to ignite the mansion, resulting in extensive damage and danger to the governor's family and guests present at the time. In a plea agreement, Balmer received a sentence of 25 to 50 years in prison. The attack was described as 'horrific' by the presiding judge, based on the evidence shown, including disturbing video footage of the assault. Balmer expressed remorse for the potential impact on children and acknowledged his actions in a recent video interview, yet remained vague about his motives. Although his mother indicated concerns about her son's mental health prior to the incident, Balmer maintained that his actions were not influenced by Governor Shapiro's Jewish faith. As of now, repairs and upgrades to the mansion's security are underway.
