A federal appeals court in San Francisco set aside 10 years of a 25-year sentence imposed in Idaho on a member of a neo-Nazi group for charges involving the death of Denver talk show host Alan Berg. Attorney Ronald Howan said that although the machine gun linked to Berg’s killing was found in Gary Lee Yarbrough’s Idaho home, Yarbrough did not take part in the shooting.
