American white supremacist (died 2007)

David Eden Lane

David Eden Lane was an American neo-Nazi and a co-founder of the white supremacist organization The Order. For his actions as part of The Order, Lane was convicted and sentenced to 190 years in prison for racketeering, conspiracy, and the violation of the civil rights of Alan Berg, a Jewish radio talk show host, who prosecutors claimed was murdered by a member of the group via a drive-by shooting with Lane acting as driver, though they were unsuccessful in getting murder convictions. He died while incarcerated at the FCI Terre Haute in Terre Haute, Indiana.
