FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) A former neo-Nazi leader was sentenced to more than 3 years in prison Tuesday for his role in a conspiracy to target a Black church, a Cabinet member and more than 100 others with bogus bomb threats and 911 calls.
U.S. District Judge Liam O Grady imposed the 41-month sentence after ruling 27-year-old John Cameron Denton s actions should be considered a hate crime.
The sentence was less than the 5-year term sought by prosecutors but more than the 18-month sentence sought by Denton s attorney.
