Plaintiff in Nebraska 10 Commandments Case Outed; Fears for His Safety

In 2001, ACLU Nebraska brought suit against the city of Plattsmouth challenging a 10 Commandments monument in a public park. The plaintiff represented by the ACLU was identified in the suit only as "John Doe" because of threats he had received. Yesterday, the Omaha World-Herald identified the man, as well as the type of car he drives and its license plate. The article also discussed his writings about religion and the threats that have been made against him. Today, the Sioux City Journal reports on the continuing concerns the man has for his safety and the possibility that he may move from Plattsmouth now that his identity has been revealed.
