SUPCUS Declines To Hear Appeal Of Ringleader In Amish Hair Attacks

cbsnews.com

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined hear the appeal of the Amish bishop sentenced to life in prison for hate crimes.  71-year-old Samuel Mullet Senior was convicted in 2012 for planning a series of raids on other Amish men in a community near Steubenville.  His group cut off the victims' hair and beards, which have religious significance. The justices did not provide a reason for their decision.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
