I do not care about their concerns, they should go for it. Juror's are smarter than some like to admit and than again some jury's have disappointed me in the past. But, I cannot base my thoughts on those trials that did not go my way.

If you break the law inside/outside of prison you should be held accountable. Frankly, 16 defendants shows this isn't a small time trial. More importantly we are dealing with the Aryan Brotherhood one of the most violent of groups inside/outside of prison.

Just blowing of some steam on this one, I have to believe a jury will side with the prosecutors and do the right thing.

There are mexican, asian and black gangs in prision, and let the authorities go after all of the gangs with equal fervor. If someone enters a bad slam, he needs to affiliate for protection, if the established gang is of Aryan extraction, you cant be to picky about things like that or you die.

"If the person is already doing a life term and is having problems in prison, that in some ways shows a failure of the criminal justice system"

That's right, if someone who MURDERED SOMEONE IN SOCIETY gets jailed and then MURDERS SOMEONE IN JAIL then it's OUR FAULT!!!!

These loony libs should do standup comedy.

Barry "The Baron" Mills, a lead defendant, is serving two life terms for murder after nearly decapitating an inmate in 1979. In the upcoming trial, he faces a possible death sentence for allegedly orchestrating the 1997 murders of two black inmates serving time for rape at a prison in Lewisburg, Pa. Mills has pleaded not guilty.

Sounds like this guy has been doing a good job of reducing the prison population by offing inmates that should've been executed anyway. I give this one a "thumbs up".

Wouldn't scarce funds be better spent putting more violent people in prison than carrying out a hate crime vendetta against those already in Prison?

This vendetta has absolutely no value to society outside prison. It's only a notch on the prosecutors belt, his resume. And we pay for it.

Authorities arrested 40 Aryan Brotherhood members in 2002 after a six-year investigation intended to dismantle the gang's leadership under a federal racketeering law originally passed to target Mafia leaders.

I don't recall RICO ever being used against a minority gang or group of individuals. They use it against right to life groups and these guys, but not MS-13.
