16 Amish in Ohio Reject Beard-Cutting Plea Deals - ABC News

16 Amish in Ohio Reject Beard-Cutting Plea Deals - ABC News

This article about the prosecution of 16 Amish for beard cutting is a fine example of what is wrong with the Federal Justice Department.  It's difficult to understand why this is a federal crime and why these men face a 20 year sentence to federal prison.  This is fiscally irresponsible and contrary to civil liberties.

This gives a birds eye view of the plea bargaining system and how it workd for those who are targeted for indictment.
