CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A federal inmate was convicted after prosecutors said he wrote letters offering up to $50,000 for the assault, torture and murder of multiple federal law enforcement officers.
A jury deliberated for approximately one hour before finding 39-year-old Aramis Stuckman guilty on all eight charges following a two-day trial, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas.
In October 2024, Stuckman was incarcerated at the Three Rivers Federal Correctional Institution when he wrote three letters seeking attacks on the corrections officers, federal prosecutors said. He passed the letters to three corrections officers and threatened one of them, warning that the officer would become the next victim if he turned the letter over to authorities.
The defense argued that Stuckman did not write the letters and lacked the resources to carry out the solicitations.
U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzales-Ramos scheduled sentencing for Dec. 1. Stuckman faces up to 20 years in federal prison for each solicitation-of-murder count and up to 10 years for each solicitation-of-assault count and for threatening a law enforcement officer. He could also be fined up to $250,000.
Stuckman will remain in custody pending sentencing. The FBI investigated the case with assistance from the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ Special Investigative Services.
