Senior U.S. District Judge James Cohn sentenced Lucy Richards, 57, to five months in prison, followed by five months of home detention. "I'm sure he wishes this was false and he could embrace Noah, hear Noah's heartbeat and hear Noah say 'I love you, Dad'," Cohn told Richards. Noah Pozner is shown in a Nov. 13, 2012 file photo provided by the family via The Washington Post, a month before he was one of 20 children killed in the school mass shooting. "You have the absolute right to think and believe as you so desire," the judge said. In fact, Richards' public defender Robert Berube said he had gotten calls from around the United States from people who think Sandy Hook was a hoax.
