Edgar Steele Gets 50-Year Sentence
Edgar Steele was sentenced to 50 years in prison today for a foiled murder-for-hire plot that targeted his wife and mother-in-law. In an hour and a half rant before Judge B. Lynn Winmill, Steele called the case a vast conspiracy by the federal government, the Anti-Defamation league, and the Russian mafia to silence him for his political views and legal work. “I, too, am a victim. My entire family is a victim. In fact, all of American society is a victim in this case.”” said Steele, 66, and a self-described “attorney for the damned” who represented Aryan Nations founder Richard Butler. “I am not delusional. I am a well educated professional with a long track record of honesty.” Winmill said it’s “human temptation” to respond to claims about government corruption but it’s best not to/Meghann Cuniff, SR.
