Oct. 3 (UPI) -- A California woman who planned to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh is scheduled to be sentenced Friday.

Sophie Roske, 29, pleaded guilty in April to attempted assassination in a federal court. The sentencing hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. EDT.

The U.S. Department of Justice plans to request that Roske be sentenced to 30 years to life in prison, followed by lifetime supervised release.

"This attempt against the life of a Supreme Court Justice was an attack on the entire judicial system that cannot go unpunished," said Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier this month.

Roske, who is transgender, was charged under her legal name, Nicholas J. Roske. Her attorneys told the court of the name change in September, The New York Times reported.

In her guilty plea, Roske said that in 2022, she "developed a plan to assassinate one or more Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States," had used the Internet to search for the home addresses of the justices and for information on weapons, how to break into a home and how to stab "a person, especially in the neck, strangulation, killing a person in a quiet manner, and how to travel by air with weapons."

Roske got as far as Kavanaugh's neighborhood in Maryland with burglary tools and a gun but stopped the attempt. Two deputy U.S. marshals who were guarding the home saw her, and she walked away.

Roske then called 911 and told the operator she "was having suicidal and homicidal thoughts, that [she] had a firearm in [her] suitcase and that [she] had come from California to kill" Kavanaugh.

Roske is asking for eight years in prison, followed by 25 years of supervised release. Her public defenders note Roske's remorse and concerns that she won't get sufficient care under the President Donald Trump administration's policies requiring transgender women be housed in male prisons and restricting gender-affirming care.

Roske submitted a five-page letter to the court. She apologized to Kavanaugh and his family.

"I am very glad I did not continue," Roske wrote. "I am also sorry for contributing to a trend of political violence in American politics. I can now see how destructive and misguided such acts are, and am ashamed not to have recognized these things sooner."

Roske's family members have also submitted letters insisting they support her as a transgender woman and will help her upon release.

"Please send her home," Roske's grandfather wrote.
