Longer Prison Sentence Sought for Supremacist

From Times Wire Reports

Federal prosecutors in Chicago are seeking a stiffer sentence for a white supremacist convicted of soliciting the murder of a federal judge whose husband and mother were found dead in her home last month in an unrelated attack.

Prosecutors said in a court filing that Matthew Hale faced up to 40 years in prison.

The filing said the government would seek to increase Hale’s sentence because the murder solicitation “was a crime of terrorism” under federal guidelines.
