(2) Found to be true by a jury trying the issue of guilt. (3) Found to be true by the court where guilt is established by a plea of guilty or nolo contendere. (4) Found to be true by trial by the court sitting without a jury. (e) Upon conviction of any person under this section for disturbances of religious worship, the court may, in accordance with the performance of community service imposed under this section, consistent with public safety interests and with the victim’s consent, order the defendant to perform a portion of, or all of, the required community service at the place where the disturbance of religious worship occurred. (f) The court may waive the mandatory minimum requirements for community service whenever it is in the interest of justice to do so. When a waiver is granted, the court shall state on the record all reasons supporting the waiver.
