CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) -
A jury has convicted a rogue Amish group in a series of violent hair-cutting attacks on other members of the Amish community.
Nearly 20 men, including Bishop Sam Mullet, were convicted of committing a hate crime and conspiracy. The hate crime conviction carries a minimum prison sentence of 20 years in jail.
After a week of deliberating, the jury reached a verdict shortly before 2 p.m. in Cleveland Federal Court.
The vicious attacks happened in Jefferson, Trumbull, Holmes and Carroll Counties. Prosecutors say Sam Mullet ordered the violent hair cuts. The attacks were meant to humiliate and punish the people Mullet did not believe are faithful enough.
The defendants forcibly restrained multiple Amish men and cut off their beards and head hair with scissors and battery-powered clippers, causing bodily injury to these men while also injuring others who attempted to stop the attacks. In the Amish religion, a man's beard is considered sacred.
The men will be sentenced on January 24 at 9 a.m. They will remain jailed until they are sentenced.

The outlook for job in Northeast of Ohio looks pretty promising according to a new report released by Team NEO. In the next decade they estimate the area to add 150,000 jobs. There is a bit a problem though and it will be finding the qualified and educated workers to fill the jobs especially in the medical industry. According to Jenny Febbs with Team NEO the challenge will be getting our young educated population to stay home as well as attracting people from other parts of the county.More >>
