Jury finds American Front leader guilty on 2 charges
KISSIMMEE Marcus Faella stood silently and showed no emotion as a jury delivered a guilty verdict Friday on two charges that could send the American Front leader to prison for 30 years.
After deliberating for about five hours in Central Florida's largest domestic-terrorism case, the jury found Faella, 41, guilty on two counts of teaching and conducting paramilitary training.
Immediately after the verdict was announced, Faella was handcuffed and ordered to be held without bail in Osceola County Jail as his sobbing wife, Patty, yelled out, "Marcus, I love you!"
The trial started Tuesday more than two years after the feds arrested Faella and 13 other American Front members accused of training for a race war. The American Front is one of the oldest continually active U.S. skinhead groups, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

but wasn't sure if the site met DU standards, so did not post as an OP.
Odd how quietly these proceedings happen when it's a white supremacist and not an "islamic Jihadist"
