Bible Crazy man gets three years!/ Video
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2004/12/16.html#a1080/ Video
Ridgefield father Edwin B. Baxter asked God for mercy and a judge for understanding Wednesday as he faced sentencing for an attempted circumcision on his 8-year-old. Baxter said he was inspired to cut his son after reading Scripture and first consulted his wife.

Baxter likely will appeal on the grounds that Rulli did not let him use his Christian fundamentalist faith as a defense, but Rulli cast doubt that argument will fly.

"The court has steadfastly held that you can't jeopardize the health and safety of your family because of your religious beliefs," Rulli said.

Can you imagine if this defense was successful?

1. Hope the kid
has been given counselling. It has got to have been an extremely traumatic experience.
