White Supremacist Gets Death Penalty
A federal jury in Little Rock, Ark., ordered the death penalty for a white supremacist for the murder of an Arkansas family as part of a plot to set up a whites-only nation in the Pacific Northwest. Danny Lee, 26, of Yukon, Okla., was convicted along with Chevie Kehoe, 26, of Colville, Wash., in the scheme. Earlier this week, the jury spared Kehoe’s life, deciding he should get life in prison without parole. The two were convicted of killing a gun dealer, his wife and their daughter. The victims were bound in plastic and tape and dumped into a bayou. Prosecutors said they were killed for guns and money.
