OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — The latest on the trial of a white supremacist charged with capital murder for the deaths of three people at two Jewish sites in the Kansas City area (all times local):
6:10 p.m.
A white supremacist has given jurors a Nazi salute after they convicted him of capital murder and other charges for killing three people at two suburban Kansas City Jewish sites.
It took the jury of seven men and five women just over two hours to find Frazier Glenn Miller guilty of one count of capital murder, three counts of attempted murder and assault and weapons charges.
After the verdict was announced, Miller, said: “The fat lady just sang.” As jurors were filing out of the courtroom, he raised his right arm in the Nazi salute and told them: “You probably won’t sleep tonight.”
He faces the death penalty. Sentencing proceedings are scheduled to begin Tuesday.

OLATHE, Kan. (AP) —A jury has convicted a white supremacist of killing three people at Kansas City-area Jewish sites last year.
Jurors returned their verdict Monday against Frazier Glenn Miller Jr., who admitted that he killed the three in April 2014, but argued that he was compelled to do it because Jewish people are trying to wipe out the white race. None of the victims was Jewish.
Miller had been representing himself after firing his lawyers in May.
Prosecutors had begun their case against Miller by quoting him after the shootings saying he hated Jews and asking how many did he get. They rested their case Thursday, barely four days into the trial. Proceedings moved swiftly because Miller asked witnesses very few questions.
