Self-proclaimed white supremacist Bill White is convicted on four of the seven charges against him and is acquitted of the remaining three.
A federal jury found White guilty of three counts that he made threats to harm particular people. Those people are a Citibank worker, a University of Deleware administrator and a Canadian civil rights attorney.
White was also found guilty for intimidating African American tenants in Virginia Beach.
White was acquitted of two more counts he made threats against particular people. Those people are nationally syndicated columnist Leonard Pitts and an African American mayor from New Jersey.
White was also found not guilty of extortion in the Citibank case.
The federal prosecution team, brought in from out of town, refused to comment on the verdict. White's attorney David Damico says he would obviously be much happier if White had been acquitted on all charges.
White faces a maximum of five years in prison for each of the three threat counts. The intimidation charge carries a maximum 20 year sentence. Damico says he'll tell the judge that the one year White has served in jail is enough time.
There is no date set for White's sentencing. Damico expects it to be in February.
