A Queens man who menaced a peaceful group of Black Lives Matter protesters with a bladed glove and then drove his car at them faces a long prison term after being convicted on nine attempted murder counts and other charges, officials said on Monday. The man, Frank Cavalluzzi, was found guilty after a two-week jury trial, Melinda Katz, the Queens district attorney, said in a statement. He faces up to 25 years in prison on each of the attempted murder counts, officials said. “A dangerous man is going to jail,” Ms. Katz said. “It’s a good day for New York and the First Amendment.”
