Tyler Massengill, 32, clad in an orange jumpsuit of a Peoria County Jail inmate, showed no emotion as the sentence was read aloud. He stood before the judge and apologized, saying he never meant to hurt anyone. Rather, he said, it was the opposite. "I feel for the people who have lost their jobs. I'm not trying to play like I am victim at this. I was sincerely hurt," he said, noting that he thought his unborn child was aborted at the clinic.

He said he had a stable life but his drug addiction and his mental issues took over. The second-floor courtroom of U.S. District Judge James Shadid was packed with denizens of the federal courthou...
