A jury on Thursday found avowed white supremacist [the Asswipe of Charleston] guilty of federal hate crimes resulting in the deaths of nine black parishioners at a historic church in Charleston, South Carolina, last year.The jury was out for less than two hours. So they selected a foreman, had lunch, and then took a vote and that was it, I'd guess.
I'll hazard a guess: It will take the jury about the same amount of time to send him to Death Row.
The really delicious point was that the Asswipe of Charleston was trying to push a neo-nazi pro-Confederate point of view, but he succeeded in breaking the logjam over removing the Flag of Traitors from the South Carolina statehouse.
Federal hate rimes carry the death penalty?
