Gunman Convicted of Murder in Deadly 2014 Shooting at Kansas City Jewish Sites

The Judge ejected the defendant after he denounced all of the court officers as Jewish sympathizers

White supremacist Frazier Glenn Cross was convicted Monday of capital murder in the killings of three people at two Kansas Jewish centers last year — convictions he'd predicted and told jurors he expected, NBC News reported.

Cross, 74, pleaded not guilty even though he defiantly admitted having killed Dr. William Corporon, 69, and his 14-year-old grandson, Reat Underwood, outside Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City and Terri LaManno, 53, outside the Village Shalom retirement center in April 2014. None were Jewish.

The verdicts came after a wild morning in Olathe, Kansas, that saw District Judge Thomas Kelly Ryan eject Cross — a former leader of the defunct White Patriot Party of North Carolina who is also known as Glenn Miller — from the courtroom after he denounced all of the court officers as Jewish sympathizers.
