Death penalty sought for 3 tied to border group
Prosecutors said Thursday they plan to seek the death penalty against the leader of an anti-illegal immigrant group and two others charged in an Arizona home invasion that left a 9-year-old girl and her father dead. The trio are alleged to have dressed as law enforcement officers and forced their way into a home about 10 miles north of the Mexican border in rural Arivaca on May 30, wounding a woman and fatally shooting her husband and their daughter. A notice of intent to seek the death penalty against Shawna Forde, Jason Eugene Bush and Albert Robert Gaxiola was filed Monday, Deputy Pima County attorney Kellie Johnson said. Forde is the leader of the Minutemen American Defense border watch group. She's accused of planning the attack to help fund her anti-immigrant operations. Prosecutors argued that the three committed the crime in a cold and calculated manner, that they did it for money and had previous convictions for serious offenses...AtlanticCity

There is another side to this story. The bottom line is that the prosecution's case is very weak. There will be more posted on this very political case. This is a govt/media-sponsored project designed to break the back of the Minuteman movement, and unfortunately, most ppl have fallen for the negative propaganda. justiceforshawnaforde.com
