Today, a jury of twelve in the Pomona Superior Court found Professor Kerri Dunn guilty of staging the antisemitic hate crime. Jurors found her guilty of two felony charges for attempted insurance fraud and on one misdemeanor count of filing a false police report. Professor Dunn faces up to 3.5 years in prison when she is sentenced on September 17.

Antisemitic hate crime hoaxes are on the rise worldwide. Another occurred in France just last month when police announced the arrest of a woman who alleged that she was the victim of a horrific anti-Jewish assault on a Paris train. The 23-year-old woman had reported that six men had cut her clothes, drew swastikas on her body and accused her of being Jewish. She also reported that "the thugs also threatened her infant child in her baby carriage." The lurid attack had "stunned France" and led to the usual outpouring of self-righteous fury and pro-Zionist hysteria. President Jacques Chirac expressed “horror” and condemned the incident, while Interior Minister Dominique de Villepin vowed to apprehend the assailants and stated that the attack was “more serious because it was marked by racism and anti-Semitism”. The women later confessed that she had staged the whole thing.

Another occurred in New Zealand earlier this week when Jews desecrated their own cemetery by painting swastikas on their tombs. The incident was aimed at curving [sic] criticism from New Zealanders after two Israeli MOSSAD agents were sentenced to prison for espionage and holding fake passports.

Notice that she's charged with _staging_ 'an antisemetic hate crime.' If it had been a real hate crime what might the sentence have been?
