An attorney for the Rikers Island inmate charged with plotting to kill the police commissioner and blow up police headquarters says her client is mentally ill, and that his threats were nothing more than talk.
David Brown, 47, was arraigned Tuesday on criminal solicitation charges.
Investigators say Brown offered an undercover police officer $65,000 to kill Ray Kelly and blow up One Police Plaza. He expressed anger over Kelly's handling of the Sean Bell shooting.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg says he thinks it's clear that Brown needs psychiatric help. But he adds that he takes this threat and all others against the city very seriously
