Hale Lawyer Says He Wouldn't Pass Message

An attorney for jailed white supremacist Matthew Hale, who has been a focus of the investigation into the killings of a federal judge's husband and mother, said Wednesday that Hale's mother asked him late last year to relay a coded message from Hale to one of his supporters.


Hale is awaiting sentencing for earlier soliciting the murder of the same jurist, U.S. District Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow.


Lawyer Glenn Greenwald told The Associated Press that Hale's mother, Evelyn Hutcheson, asked him a few months ago to pass the message.


"She said, 'I don't know what this message means, but Matt made me write it down verbatim so I could read it to you. He said it is an emergency that you communicate this as quickly as possible,'" Greenwald said.

1. Should the lawyer have copied the message? Or is that considered

poor legal practice?

2. I wondered why the Justice Dept

took ALL visits with Hale's family away. Coded messages via momma??? Anyone else see his mom the last week on TV?? She's been on Greta , Scarborough, Big Story, Geraldo, Morning America this past week or so. She's not impressive, let's just say that the apple doesn't fall far from the racist tree!!!
