The Radio Host's Killing

A radio talk-show host who was Jewish, and who criticised white-supremacist groups on air, was shot dead outside his home. Prosecutors said members of a white-supremacist group discussed him as a target at meetings and planned the killing. They said one accused booked motel rooms under a false name and later described the shooting. Shell casings were linked to his home. The law required proof the victim was attacked because of his religion and his job. The accused said there was no proof his job was the motive.
