CYNDI |
GUILTY |
Cyndi Steele reacted furiously at the verdict against her well known anti-semite husband Edgar, who once represented the Aryan Nations, despite recordings seemingly showing her husband offering money for her death. "This is the most devastating thing I have ever had happen in my life," she said outside Boise's U.S. District
Court, shaking and crying.
Prosecutors Steele offered $25,000 to a man called Larry Fairfax to kill the women so he could collect on an uninsured motorist insurance policy and be free to pursue a relationship with a woman from Ukraine.
Prosecutors said Fairfax tipped off federal investigators about the scheme and later employees of an auto shop found a pipe bomb strapped underneath Cyndi Steele's car.
Steele's defense attorneys, along with his supporters, maintained the audio recordings were fakes.
Steele is well known in anti-Semitic and white supremacist circles and has made speeches at white supremacist events and launched the website ConspiracyPenPal.com, where he published his views.
He also wrote a book titled "Defensive Racism: An Unapologetic Examination of Racial Differences."
But now he has been found guilty of use of interstate commerce facilities in the commission for murder for hire, possession of a destructive device in relation to a crime of violence and tampering with a victim. He faces at least 30 years and up to life in prison when he is sentenced on Aug. 22.
