In this Monday, Oct. 10, 2011 photo, Sam Mullet stands in front of his Bergholz, Ohio, home. Attorneys for a group of Amish men and women found guilty of hate crimes for cutting the hair and beards of fellow members of their faith in eastern Ohio are arguing that the group's conviction, sentencing and imprisonment in separate facilities across the country violates their constitutional rights and amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, according to recent court filings. The Amish group's leader, Mullet, was sentenced to 15 years in prison, while the rest of the group got sentences ranging from one to seven years. (AP Photo/Amy Sancetta, File) ( Amish Attacks )
