Jury Picked for Trial of White Supremacist
From Times Wire Reports
A 12-member jury, half of them minority group members, was sworn in for the trial of a white supremacist leader charged with soliciting the murder of a federal judge.
The jurors promised to give Matthew Hale, 32, a fair trial despite what U.S. District Judge James T. Moody told them would be evidence that Hale used slurs to describe African Americans and Jews.
Hale is accused of urging a follower and an FBI informant to murder Chicago federal judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow. She was not attacked.
