Edgar Steele
Edgar James Steele (July 5, 1945 – September 4, 2014) was an American author and disbarred trial attorney from northern Idaho, best known for serving as the defense attorney for Richard G. Butler, the founder of the white supremacist group Aryan Nations. He was a graduate of UCLA Law School and the University of California, Berkeley Haas School of Business.
On June 11, 2010, Steele and another man were arrested and charged in connection with an alleged murder-for-hire plot to kill Steele’s wife Cyndi and her mother. He was sentenced to a 50-year prison sentence. Steele died in prison in September 2014, three years into his sentence.

Edgar Steele’s dead now. He died in prison on September 4th 2014. I suppose he would be commonly termed a “White Supremacist” though my guess he would see himself more as a white realist.Anyway, when I watched these prison interviews (this is the first of four parts) I warmed to his intelligence and articulacy. See what you think.
