Can you excerpt the part that identifies him as "religious zealot?"
"Hey everyone, you need to pass this on to as many friends as possible. A bounty with a price tag of $250,000 has been taken out on the head of Michael Schiavo. It is my understanding that whoever eliminates Michael Schiavo from the planet while inflicting as much pain and suffering that he can bear stands to be paid this reward in cash ... It is also my understanding that an additional $50,000 has been offered for the elimination of the judge who ruled against Terry (sic) in Florida."
Earlier stories had only bit of it, but even there, I puzzled whether this was a "threat" in the meaning of the law. It's fiction, there's not any money behind it, and the would be killer is not told how to collect. Who would commit a capital crime on such cheesy grounds? If I were the judge, I'd make Meywes pay costs, give him a lecture on civility, and send him home.
Again, no mention of religion, period. On the contrary, his lawyer implicitly denied that religion had any role in the case. Here:
"Meywes attorney said his client is cooperating fully with investigators and called the e-mail a 'lapse of judgement.'
"'[Meywes has] no criminal history, no history of violence, no history of mental illness, doesn't belong to any right wing or left wing groups that take a position about pro life or pro choice, none of that,' attorney Sean Devereux said."
