WIS News 10 - Columbia, South Carolina | Man who used Hitler oath on cell phone's voice mail gets 2-month sentence
Member Center:
Police accidentally came across the message on the 20-year-old's phone in 2004 when they called to question him about a burglary.
Prosecutors say he downloaded the message from the Internet. It includes the repeating of the phrase "Sieg Heil!"
The defendant says that the download was a "spontaneous act" and that he did not fully embrace the meaning of the oath.
He was sentenced to a year in prison for theft and fencing stolen goods, but the court decided to tack on two extra months for using the oath.
There is a law in Austria that makes Nazi propaganda a crime.
