Richard Dale Morrison

Richard Dale Morrison (born August 20, 1973) pleaded guilty to damaging religious property for setting fire to an all-black Church of Christ in Henderson, Nevada, in 1996. He was the first person charged under the Church Arson Prevention Act passed earlier that year.
On conviction, Judge Philip Pro (sitting in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada) sentenced Morrison to 63 months in Federal prison. He served the latter part of his sentence at the high-security United States Penitentiary, Victorville.
The assault saw Morrison face a further 6 months in prison. He was released on March 2, 2006.
