 Byron York on Charles Pickering & Cross-Burning Case on National Review Online
The law requires that the government prove the accused acted out of racial animus, and Swan, whose defense consisted mainly of the contention that he was drunk on the night of the cross burning, maintained that he simply did not have the racial animus necessary to be guilty of a hate crime under federal law.
Swan had no criminal record, and seven witnesses testified that they were not aware of any racial animus he might have held against fl people.
In the end, Swan was found guilty — there was no doubt that he had taken an active role in the cross burning — and the Justice Department recommended that he be sentenced to seven and a half years in jail.

 Byron York on Judge Charles Pickering & Cross-Burning Case on National Review Online
Pickering felt strongly that Swan should serve time, but he believed that seven-and-a-half years was too long, in light of the leniency given to the 17-year-old and the other circumstances of the case (discussed below).
