Hamilton man sentenced for cenotaph desecration

Hamilton – Craig
David Miller, who holds white supremacist views has been sentenced to community
service and supervision for desecrating the cenotaph in the city with
anti-Jewish slogans and swastikas.

 

The
graffiti was stenciled and painted on the cenotaph in Memorial Park in February
just hours before a service to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

 

Craig
David Miller was sentenced in the Hamilton District Court today to two years of
intensive supervision and 200 hours of community work, and ordered to pay the
Hamilton City Council $2000 in reparation.

 

Judge
David Wilson told Miller the words and symbols he used were deeply offensive,
not only to the Jewish community but to all citizens of Hamilton.

 

He
said he would keep a close eye on Miller’s progress through three-monthly
reports.
