Sam Mullet, Amish bishop who orchestrated beard-cutting attacks, asks judge to overturn his convictions

CLEVELAND, OH – Amish bishop Sam Mullet is asking the Cleveland federal judge who sent him to prison to overturn his convictions for orchestrating a series of beard and hair-cutting attacks on his enemies.

Mullet argues in a motion filed Friday that his former attorney, Assistant Federal Public Defender Ed Bryan, made a series of errors while representing him at his 2012 trial, and through two appeals. Had Bryan not committed the errors, Mullet’s trial may have ended differently, the motion says.
