Arizona Racist Skinheads Sentenced for Attempted Murder
A Maricopa County, Arizona, judge has sentenced the last of four racist skinhead defendants for their role in the attempted murder of one of their own gang members. In January 2006, four members of the Arizona Northern American Skinheads/SS Guardians took Amanda Crow, a 19-year-old recent recruit of the group, into the desert outside Phoenix where they beat her, slit her throat, and left her for dead. Crow ultimately survived the attack, but remains paralyzed from the neck down.
