Meilech Schnitzler, the Satmar hasid who threw a cup of bleach in face of anti-child-sex-abuse activist Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in December 2012, is being sentenced this morning in a Brooklyn court.
Schnitzler pleaded guilty earlier this year to one felony count of “intent to cause physical injury with a weapon” in a plea deal that is supposed to net Schnitzler – who ran across a busy street carrying the cup of bleach, ran up behind Rosenberg, tapped Rosenberg on the shoulder and threw the bleach in Rosenberg’s face when Rosenberg turned around – a no-jail sentence.
This is a travesty of justice that calls the ability of new Brooklyn DA Ken Thompson to do his job into serious question.
