Nathaniel James McGuire faces maximum sentence of life in prison after guilty plea over September 2024 bombing

In September 2024, Nathaniel James McGuire, 22, of Santa Barbara county threw a backpack containing an explosive device into the courthouse before exiting the building to retrieve two long guns and 10 molotov cocktails from his car.
