Canada body-parts murder victim identified
CHICAGO, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- White supremacist Matt Hale told his father to lie to a Chicago federal grand jury, according to an indictment released Thursday.
Federal agents overheard the alleged obstruction of justice as Russell Hale talked to his jailed son on the telephone in mid-April, Copley News Service reported. The younger Hale, 32, has been held without bond in Chicago since January, when he was charged with soliciting the murder of a federal judge in that city.
Hale allegedly advised his father to testify he saw him become emotional and break down during a CNN interview about Benjamin Smith. Four summers ago, the Hale disciple went on a shooting spree in Illinois and Indiana that left two people dead and several wounded -- all members of minority groups -- before he killed himself with police closing in.
Hale denied any connection but federal prosecutors have increasingly injected Smith into Hale's murder-solicitation case. The indictment says the grand jury continues to examine whether Hale "ordered or encouraged" Smith's actions.
