A 27-year-old man pleaded guilty Wednesday to mailing a letter threatening to kill a Charleston judge by blowing a federal building "off the face of this earth."

Mario Dominic Brown was behind bars in state prison June 2010 when he penned a letter summoning U.S. District Court Judge David C. Norton to stand before him in judgment, according to a federal indictment. Brown targeted Norton, who serves in Charleston, out of revenge for perceived wrongs against him and his family over the course of several years, prosecutors alleged.

"Now the ENTIRE Federal Judicial System, 4th District of South Carolina, must PAY!," the letter read. "You got exactly two (2) weeks to find which Federal Court Building will be blown off the face of this earth, along with every one inside, and you all will die. ... If you can't find it, then you will all be sentenced to DEATH! To put it in your own words, THIS COURT IS ADJOURNED!"
