Israel: Jewish Youths Sentenced in Hate Attack Against Arab Male in Jerusalem


jail3Three defendants in the “Jerusalem lynch” attack against an Arab male on August 16, 2012 in Yerushalayim were sentenced to prison on Monday, Rosh Chodesh Menachem Av 5773 by the Jerusalem District Court. The defendants were 16 when they perpetrated the hate attack, leaving the victim in serious condition. They were sentenced to jail terms ranging from one to eight months.

A plea bargain arrangement was reached with two of the defendants. They pleaded guilty to ‘incitement’. The state lacked hard evidence to move ahead with a hate crime against the two, opting to deal and settle on a plea bargain guilty plea on lesser charges.
