36岁的新泽西州男子丹·索海尔因1月28日驾车撞击布鲁克林哈巴德-卢巴维奇总部,被判服刑时间加7天[1]。索海尔已在押约6个月,并已承认损坏宗教财产罪[1]。法院判决他赔偿超过1.9万美元,同时强制其接受创伤后应激障碍和人格障碍的心理治疗[1]。
在周三的量刑听证中,法官埃里克·维塔利亚诺批评检察机关寻求的14个月监禁刑罚过度[1]。维塔利亚诺法官表示:"这里控告的是财产犯罪,而非仇恨犯罪[1]。"索海尔于2025年5月认罪[1]。
Dan Sohail, a 36-year-old from Carteret, New Jersey, was sentenced to time served plus seven days following his January 28 incident in which he drove a car into the headquarters of Chabad-Lubavitch in Brooklyn [1]. Sohail had already spent approximately six months in custody awaiting trial [1]. He pleaded guilty to damaging religious property and was ordered to pay restitution exceeding $19,000 [1].
The sentencing drew judicial disagreement with prosecutors' recommendation of 14 months in prison [1]. Judge Eric Vitaliano stated that "a property crime is what was charged here. Not a hate crime," signaling opposition to the prosecution's proposed penalty [1]. Sohail was ordered to undergo mandatory psychological treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and personality disorder [1]. Sohail indicated he is in the process of converting to Judaism [1].
