“The leader of an Amish cult — who allegedly ordered followers to forcibly cut the beards and hair of those who criticized his leadership — was sentenced to 15 years in prison.  The 67-year-old Samuel Mullet Sr. was convicted not just of assault but of hate crimes, as prosecutors said the victims’ right to religious expression was violated.  The sentence sat between what the government asked for — life in prison — and what the defense sought, which was at most two years.  Fifteen others implicated in the crimes were sentenced to between one and seven years in prison.”
