Man Pleads Guilty In Anti-Semitic Graffiti Case

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) ― A 21-year-old man pleaded guilty Wednesday to scrawling anti-Semitic slurs on cars parked near a synagogue.

James Connolly admitted he wrote slurs and drew swastikas with black markers on several cars and other surfaces near the Electchester Jewish Center in the Fresh Meadows section of Queens, District Attorney Richard Brown's office said in a news release.

He pleaded guilty to fourth-degree criminal mischief as a hate crime and will be sentenced April 12.

Queens Supreme Court Judge Richard L. Buchter said he would give Connolly five years' probation and 10 days of community service and order him to enroll in a tolerance sensitivity course.

A 22-year-old man is awaiting trial on similar charges in the case.
