Lawsuit aims to bust Aryan Nations hate group in Idaho
In a Monday trial, attorney Morris Dees of the Southern Poverty Law Center represents Victoria Keenan and her son Jason Keenan in a suit against Aryan Nations founder Richard Butler. The Keenans allege assault false imprisonment and emotional distress after Aryan Nations guards fired on their car and chased them on a Hayden Lake road. Butler and his lawyer dispute liability, while civil rights opponents expect the case to pressure leaders of hate groups.
