Everitt Aaron Jameson pleaded guilty, Monday, June 4, 2018, to attempting to aid a terrorist organization and will receive a 15-year-sentence. Prosecutors say Jameson, of Modesto, told undercover federal agents that he planned to use pipe bombs to channel victims into part of the popular tourist destination so he could shoot them on Christmas Day. (Eric Risberg\/AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He told the undercover agents how to build pipe bombs and where he intended to assemble the bombs, and he asked them for remote timers, according to court documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, and Jameson didn\u2019t want to take the chance of receiving a 40-year sentence, defense attorney Charles Lee said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lee said his client was having second thoughts and didn\u2019t actually take steps to carry out the plot. Investigators found no bomb-making materials, and three firearms found during a search were legally owned by his stepfather and were locked in a gun case where Jameson couldn\u2019t to get them, Lee said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An undercover agent told Jameson several times to think about what he was doing, according to the FBI, and each time Jameson said he was ready to attack. Agents also recovered a martyr\u2019s letter signed with an Islamic variation of Jameson\u2019s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jameson was discharged from the Marines for having an allergic reaction to a bee sting, had a \u201ctumultuous marriage\u201d in which his wife went to prison for attacking him with a knife, and he lost parental rights to his two children two days before he first talked to agents, Lee said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEvery time the government\u2019s been involved in his life, it\u2019s turned out poorly for him,\u201d Lee said. \u201cI do believe he was very susceptible to suggestion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The FBI arrested Jameson on Dec. 22.
