PHOENIX – A seven-year prison sentence has been handed to a 59-year-old Phoenix man convicted of trying to make the deadly poison ricin.

Earl Carroll, U.S. District Court judge, sentenced Denys Ray Hughes for the attempted production of a biological toxin for use as a weapon, possession of an unregistered destructive device and possession of an unregistered silencer.

In delivering his sentence, Carroll noted the case was one of the most serious to come before him as a judge.

He says the evidence overwhelmingly proved Hughes attempted and intended to produce the deadly biological toxin ricin.

A federal jury convicted Hughes of the charges on June 30.

Authorities said Hughes is a survivalist who was working alone and that he wasn't a member of a terrorist organization.

They also said there was no evidence pointing to specific plans of attack.
