Federal prosecutors will seek the death penalty against an avowed white supremacist charged with killing a Philippine-born postal worker and wounding five people at a Jewish community center, court papers showed Friday. He then allegedly shot Ileto to death because the postman was a nonwhite federal government worker. Furrow, who allegedly has ties to the neo-Nazi group Aryan Nations, has pleaded not guilty.
Furrow also faces state charges on murder, attempted murder and carjacking.
