WILLIAM WHITE, Defendant-Appellee, Cross-Appellant. Appeals from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. No. 1:08-cr-00851-1—Lynn Adelman, Judge. ARGUED JUNE 8, 2012—DECIDED OCTOBER 26, 2012 Before POSNER, FLAUM, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM. William White was charged with soliciting the commission of a violent federal crime against a juror in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 373. The alleged solicitations at issue were messages that White posted to a website that he created to advance white supremacy, which included White’s 2005 statement that “[e]veryone associated with the Matt Hale trial has deserved assas- 2 Nos. 11-2150 & 11-2209 sination for a long time,” and his 2008 publication of information related to the foreperson, “Juror A,” of the jury that convicted Hale. The 2008 post disclosed Juror A’s home address and mobile, home, and work phone num- bers, though it did not contain an explicit request for Juror A to be harmed. White was tried and convicted by a jury. White then filed a Rule 29 motion for entry of a judgment of acquittal, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to convict him of solicitation. The district court granted the motion, finding that the government failed to present sufficient evidence for a reasonable juror to conclude that White was guilty of criminal solicitation, and that White’s speech was protected by the First Amendment.

  • Independent Judicial Decision Making in the New Millennium Judge
    Independent Judicial Decision Making in the New Millennium Judge Patricia J. Kerrigan 190th District Court Harris County, Texas Thomas J. Hurney, Jr. Jackson Kelly PLLC Charleston, West Virginia Introduction An independent judiciary is a critical cornerstone of the elegant system of checks and balances in federal and state constitutions. This crucial independence is placed at risk when courts are criticized or attacked by interest groups or candidates seeking political gain. As Justice Sandra Day O’Connor has commented, “[c]riticism is fine; retaliation and intimidation are not.”1 Politicians and issue groups regularly assault the courts, perhaps safe in the knowledge that judges cannot fight back because they are prohibited from discussing or defending their actions other than in their oral or written opinions. Courts also face financial pressures, where receding budgets can impact the ability to administer justice. This paper provides some background for a discussion of these and other issues and how they affect an independent judiciary. Judges, Unpopular Decisions and Politics Criticism of judges comes from many quarters, including disgruntled litigants, politicians and candidates for judicial election. In the 2016 Presidential election, then Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump publicly questioned the fairness of the judge presiding over a case against Trump University because of his “Mexican” heritage. As reported in the Wall Street Journal, In an interview, Mr. Trump said U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel had “an absolute conflict” in presiding over the litigation given that he was “of Mexican heritage” and a member of a Latino lawyers’ association. Mr. Trump said the background of the judge, who was born in Indiana to Mexican immigrants, was relevant because of his campaign stance against illegal immigration and his pledge to seal the southern U.S.

  • That They Constitute a Solicitation
    Case: 1:08-cr-00851 Document #: 169 Filed: 04/19/11 Page 1 of 66 PageID #:2015 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Plaintiff, v. Case No. 08-CR-851 WILLIAM WHITE Defendant. DECISION AND ORDER In 2003, a jury in the Northern District of Illinois convicted white supremacist leader Matthew Hale of soliciting the murder of District Judge Joan Lefkow, who had presided over a civil case involving Hale’s organization, the World Church of the Creator. The district court sentenced Hale to 480 months in prison, and the Seventh Circuit affirmed Hale’s conviction and sentence on direct appeal. See United States v. Hale, 448 F.3d 971 (7th Cir. 2006). In 2008, Hale filed a motion challenging his conviction and sentence on various grounds, including the alleged ineffectiveness of his trial counsel. Among other errors, Hale alleged that his lawyer botched jury selection, failing to challenge or strike a juror named Mark Hoffman, a gay man with an African-American partner who ended up serving as the jury foreperson. On September 11, 2008, after an article about Hale’s motion appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times, defendant William White (hereafter “defendant”), also a white supremacist and the leader of an organization called the American National Socialist Workers Party (“ANSWP”), posted an article about Hale’s motion on his website, Overthrow.com. The article was entitled “Hale Seeks To Have Sentence Overturned,” with the sub-headline “Gay Jewish Anti-Racist Led Jury.” (Govt. Ex. 2 at 1.) Below the headline, defendant posted Hoffman’s picture with the caption: Case: 1:08-cr-00851 Document #: 169 Filed: 04/19/11 Page 2 of 66 PageID #:2016 Gay Jewish anti-racist Mark P Hoffmann was a juror who played a key role in convicting Hale.

  • The Struggle for Justice in the Chicago Police Torture Cases1 by G
    A Long and Winding Road: The Struggle for Justice in the Chicago Police Torture Cases1 By G. Flint Taylor2 In the early morning hours of May 29, 1973, Anthony Holmes was taken to Area 2 detective headquarters where he was tortured by recently promoted Chicago police detective Jon Burge and several other detectives who worked with Burge on the Area’s midnight shift. The torture included repeated shockings from an electrical device housed in a box, and suffocation with a bag placed over Holmes’ head.3 Holmes passed out from the pain, felt that he was dying, and, as a result, gave a detailed stationhouse confession to an assistant Cook County state’s attorney implicating himself in a murder that he has later insisted he did not commit.4 And so began one of the most far-reaching and long-lasting scandals in the annals of Chicago police history — a scandal that featured two decades of brutal and systemic violence perpetrated on more than 110 African American suspects, implicated at least two Chicago mayors, numerous officials at the highest levels of the Chicago Police Department and the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, and members of the Cook County judiciary, and continues to this day. This article will examine this sordid history and the 25-year struggle fought by the torture survivors and their families, a group of dedicated lawyers, community activists and 1 To be published in 17 (3) Loyola Pub.

During the Procedure, Wallace was covertly installed with a "sham prosthesis", which has now "Failed".
