Prosecutors Say Steele Is Flight Risk

Federal prosecutors want Edgar J. Steele held without bail before his trial on murder-for-hire charges. Steele, 64, was charged Friday - the same day prosecutors say he wanted an acquaintance to kill his wife and mother-in-law in a car crash meant to look like an accident. Steele is well-known from his work for hate groups such as the Aryan Nations and other high-profile clients, including the McGuckin family, who held off police during a 2001 Idaho standoff. He’s also known for vocal anti-Semitic and racist rants on the Internet. Steele unsuccessfully defended the Aryan Nations and its founder, Richard Butler, in a multimillion-dollar lawsuit brought against them in 2000. That loss ultimately bankrupted the Aryan Nations/ Kathleen Kreller , Idaho Statesman. More here .

Question: Who do you think took the worse jail mug shot — Steele, above, or condiment vandal Joy Cassidy, just below?
