Tillman pleads guilty to burning San Jose post office

Richard Tillman, the brother of late war hero and San Jose-raised NFL star Pat Tillman, pleaded guilty in federal court Monday to using his car to firebomb a South San Jose post office last summer.

Tillman, 44, entered his plea — reached through an agreement with federal prosecutors — in the San Jose courtroom of U.S. District Court Judge Edward Davila of the Northern District of California. He faces a minimum of five years in prison.

His sentence will not be decided until a sentencing hearing set for April 27.
