White supremacist convicted after threatening judges

Conservative shock jock and blogger, Hal Turner, was convicted Friday for making death threats against federal appeals court judges in Illinois. Harold Charles "Hal" Turner is an American white nationalist and white supremacist from North Bergen, New Jersey.

He was arrested in June 2009 for threats which he made against three federal judges with the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Prior to Turner's arrest, his program, The Hal Turner Show, was a webcast from his home once a week.

A New York City jury deliberated less than two hours Friday before finding Hal Turner guilty of threatening the judges, reportedly in retaliation for their 2009 ruling upholding handgun bans in Chicago and Oak Park.

According to a release from the FBI, Turner was arrested and charged in June of 2009 after expressing "outrage" over a handgun decision by Chief Judge Frank Easterbrook and Judges Richard Posner and William Bauer, of the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

"Let me be the first to say this plainly," Turner wrote. "These Judges deserve to be killed."
