New 10 Commandments Case In Ohio Village

A new Ten Commandments lawsuit has been filed-- this time challenging a display outside Lockland, Ohio's town hall. Yesterday's Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the federal lawsuit was filed last month by Christopher Knecht who has also had various other run-ins with both his neighbors and local police. His lawsuit claims that the village is corrupt and ignores basic state laws for "theological principles." Knecht seeks an order requiring this and any future displays of "religious fables and myths" to be removed. He also asks for $500,000 in punitive damages.
