More on John Freshwater, the guy mentioned in Backwoods Slueth’s #14 above.

A summation from Wiki:

Using the Tesla coil to “burn” the cross into a students arm was his first big deal that made Ohio news. And once that launched him, his crusade was on.

Here is a good link to a New York Times Article on him:

Teacher With Bible Divides Ohio Town

A bit from that NY Times piece:

Hopefully this final appeal at the Ohio Supreme Court will be the last we hear of him, but I doubt it. Wouldn’t surprise me if he turned this into a political career.

He sounds nice…
