COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho (AP) — It’s coming up on the 10th anniversary of the trial that bankrupted the Aryan Nations in northern Idaho.
The Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations is planning a celebration on Sept. 7 to mark the day when a civil jury in Coeur d’Alene returned a verdict of $6.3 million against the white supremacist group after its guards attacked two people.
The verdict forced Aryan Nations founder Richard Butler to give up his compound and the group eventually withered away.
The ceremony will be outside the Kootenai County Courthouse.
