US synagogue firebombings suspect: I’m not guilty
An unemployed man accused of firebombing two New Jersey synagogues in recent weeks has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder, arson and bias intimidation.
Anthony Graziano entered his plea in state Superior Court on Wednesday morning through his lawyer. He’s being held on $5 million bail.
Public defender Robert Kalisch says his office plans to have the trial moved from the county where the attacks took place and will push to have the bail lowered.
Authorities say the 19-year-old Graziano was responsible for fires at synagogues in Paramus and Rutherford this month.
In the Jan. 11 firebombing at the Rutherford synagogue, a Molotov cocktail was thrown through a second-story window where a rabbi and his family live.
