"Man Who Destroyed Satanic Altar In Iowa Capitol Takes Plea Deal To Avoid Hate Crime Charge"
"Michael Cassidy, a Christian veteran who destroyed a Satanic altar erected in the Iowa Capitol last year, pleaded guilty on Friday 'to a reduced charge in return for prosecutors dropping a felony hate crime count,' the AP reports.
From the AP, 'Mississippi man accused of destroying statue of pagan idol at Iowa state Capitol takes plea deal':
Michael Cassidy, a former congressional and legislative candidate, was set for trial June 3, but his attorney filed a guilty plea on his behalf to an aggravated misdemeanor count of third-degree criminal mischief, the Des Moines Register reported. Cassidy admitted in writing that he 'partially dismantled a display in the Iowa State Capitol Building, without a right/license to do so,' and that the damage was greater than $750.
The statue of the horned deity Baphomet was brought to the Capitol by the Satanic Temple of Iowa under state rules allowing religious displays in the building during the holidays. [...]
The plea agreement calls for Cassidy to receive a deferred judgment with two years probation, an $855 civil penalty, and to pay restitution in an amount to be determined. He would also be required to participate in a victim-offender dialogue with representatives of the Satanic Temple if requested. The sentencing recommendation is not binding on the court, however."
