Sentencing in Duma case set for later in summer
The Lod District Court says it will hold a hearing on sentencing for Amiram Ben-Uliel on June 9, before making a final decision sometime later.
While he was cleared of belonging to a terror organization, he was convicted of conspiracy to carry out a hate crime, and the verdict treats his attack on the Palestinian Dawabsha family as terror, which could affect sentencing.
Right-wing lawmakers have pushed in recent years, without success, to legislate a death penalty for terrorists.
