Robert Stacy McCain’s Neo-Nazi Friend May Face Jury Intimidation Trial
Neo-Nazi Bill White, a truly evil and disgusting individual currently serving 2½ years in federal prison, and who once threatened me and tried to find my address and the addresses of my family members to post them on his hate site, may be facing another jury intimidation trial.
Former neo-Nazi leader Bill White, already doing time in a federal prison, may face trial in a separate case of allegedly encouraging violence against a jury foreman.
A federal judge in Chicago ruled 11 months ago that when White posted personal information, including the home address and phone numbers of the jury foreman in the trial of another neo-Nazi, Matt Hale, the First Amendment allowed White to legally do so. The judge dismissed the indictment charging White with soliciting harm against the juror. The government had maintained that White knew his now-defunct website was viewed by white supremacists who sometimes harm people they view as traitors to the white race.
The Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the district court judge today, ruling that a jury must be allowed to decide whether White’s actions were protected under the First Amendment. The appeals court sent the case back to the district court judge for further proceedings “consistent with this opinion.”
Bill White is also known at LGF for being a friend of white supremacist blogger Robert Stacy McCain; when McCain worked for the Washington Times, he was responsible for getting several pieces by White published in the newspaper. And McCain frequently posted articles from White’s racist hate site overthrow.com at FreeRepublic, using the name “BurkeCalhounDabney” — a pseudonym based on the name of an infamous pro-slavery Confederate apologist.
