INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- - Three central Indiana men have been sentenced to federal prison
after they pleaded guilty to burning a cross in the yard of a black
family's home in 2008.
Forty-one-year-old Richard LaShure was sentenced to 15 months
in prison and two years probation Thursday in U.S. District Court
in Indianapolis.
His son, 20-year-old Richard Logue, was sentenced to one year
in prison and two years probation. A third man, 20-year-old Aaron
Latham, was sentenced to one year in prison and three years
probation.
All three men from Muncie were convicted on charges they
conspired to violate civil rights and interfered with housing
rights.
