BOISE, Ida. — Three white supremacists face up to 25 years in prison on their convictions for plotting last spring to bomb a Seattle disco frequented by homosexuals.
Stephen Edwin Nelson, 35, Robert John Winslow, 29, and Proctor James Baker, 58, all of northern Idaho, were convicted Thursday night by a federal court jury. Sentencing was set for Jan. 11.
During the trial, Ronald Howen, an assistant U.S. attorney, called the case one of “domestic terrorism.” Besides plotting to bomb Neighbours Disco, prosecutors charged, the three plotted to bomb a synagogue and Seattle-area businesses frequented by blacks and Asian-Americans.
