Houston woman Ezra Law is accused of vandalizing Jewish synagogue Congregation Emanu El before returning days later and yelling at children.A Houston woman accused of vandalizing a Jewish synagogue before returning and breaking in again days later appeared before a judge on Tuesday.
Law was originally scheduled in the 232nd court, but instead appeared in front of an associate judge on Tuesday because the court filed a motion to recuse from the case. The exact reason why was unknown. "We do appreciate that the court entered stricter conditions, and we do feel like the court took it seriously," Assistant District Attorney Erica Winsor said.
"I think the court can see that the community is frightened by this case, by the actions that were taken here," Winsor said. "We appreciate the support of the community at this time. We appreciate them wanting their voice to be heard. We believe that it is appropriate for the community to do that in the manner in which they did today."
Law was arrested and charged in the first break-in as a misdemeanor. Prosecutors say while she was out on bond, she began to post several threats and rambling messages on Instagram, some tagging the synagogue specifically.
