Arizona Gay Murder Trial To Begin
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/01/011205arizona.htm

The trial of a self-styled White Supremist charged in the killing of a gay man is set to begin today in Tucson.

On June 12, 2002 Philip Walsted, 24, was robbed and murdered in downtown Tucson, Arizona. Walsted, an openly gay man, had been beaten with a baseball bat in what was months later determined to be a hate crime.

David Higdon, arrested and charged with first degree murder has been incarcerated for over two years. In that time, he has been charged along with other inmates of criminal conspiracy to take over the jail in a white supremacist plot. This past June, Higden pled guilty to aggravated assault against another inmate and was sentenced to 2 years in prison.
