Neo-Nazi Charged with Threatening Federal Juror
Federal grand jurors have indicted a white supremacist in Virginia on charges that he posted the identity of a juror and urged others to cause him harm.
William White, 31, is expected to be tried in Chicago. The underlying trial, of which the targeted juror was foreman, involved World Church of the Creator leader Matthew Hale, who was convicted of plotting the murder of U.S. District Judge Joan Lefkow, who had ruled against Hale in a previous trademark infringement case, reports the Chicago Tribune.
White is reportedly the self-appointed leader of the neo-Nazi American National Socialist Workers’ Party.
The Southern Poverty Law Center’s blog, Hatewatch, has been following White’s activities and first reported the posting of jury information in a Sept. 12 post.
