CLEVELAND — An Ohio man accused of plotting with an Indiana teenager on MySpace to carry out a Columbine-style attack at the boy’s high school was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison. Lee Billi said he was sorry and asked for help before he was sentenced in Cuyahoga County court.
“I apologize for what happened,” Billi, 34, quietly told the judge. “I was in a Catch-22. I was in a job that didn’t provide medical. I need help.”
Prosecutors say Billi, of the Cleveland suburb Lakewood, and a 16-year-old Indiana boy in April discussed carrying out the attacks at the high school and another unidentified location.
