Dan Sohail is sentenced to six months and one week in federal prison after ramming his car into the Chabad Lubavitch world headquarters in Brooklyn and causing property damage but no injuries.Judge Eric N. Vitaliano in Brooklyn federal court rejects prosecutors' request for an additional eight months after a psychiatric report documents depression and post-traumatic stress disorder and notes that Sohail had already served six months in detention; Sohail pleaded guilty in mid-May to intentionally damaging religious property and was ordered to pay $20K in restitution.Prosecutors initially treated the crash as a possible hate crime given a rise in anti-Jewish hate crimes this year, but defense attorney
Mia Eisner-Grynberg says Sohail had been exploring Judaism, sought acceptance in the Chabad community and became erratic after a troubling trip to Israel and long-standing trauma.
