From [HERE] A self-avowed white supremacist will be represented — at least for now — by a black attorney as he faces charges he tried to burn his neighbors — a black family with eight children — out of their Joliet home in 2007.

During a hearing in federal court in Chicago Thursday, Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Gilbert appointed Federal Defender MiAngel Cody to represent Brian James Moudry, who was arrested by FBI agents on federal arson and civil rights charges, accused of setting fire to the home. No one was injured in the June 2007 fire, but eight children and an adult were inside at the time, according to a federal indictment.

Moudry, 35, of the 300 block of South Reed Street, appeared in court wearing an orange jumpsuit, the words “Blue eyed devil” tattooed large across the back of his shaved head and a Nazi SS tattoo on his neck.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges. Gilbert ordered him held without bail, after prosecutors called him a danger to the community and a flight risk. (Contrast this to Zimmerman. After murder allowed to chill, go home, destroy evidence and create stories-BW).
