Hale trial centers on RAWHOWA tapes and juror interpretation
Prosecutors say white supremacist leader Matthew Hale sought a federal judge's murder in the name of a racial holy war, a claim backed by FBI informant tapes. Defense argues the tapes are biased and urges jurors to weigh the informant's role, with Hale once signing letters as Pontifex Maximus of the World Church of the Creator based in East Peoria.
