Jeff Berry (died May 31, 2013), former leader of the American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in Newville, Indiana, was sentenced to seven years in prison on December 4, 2001, for conspiracy to commit criminal confinement with a deadly weapon. The charges stemmed from a 1999 incident in which Berry refused to allow a local reporter and a photographer to leave his home following an interview.〔(Leader of the American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan sentenced )〕 In an interview, Berry identified himself as the Klan's "national imperial wizard." 〔(Berry says he is Klan's 'national imperial wizard )〕 In a book written by his former assistant and now former Klansman, Brad Thompson, Berry's Klan was described as "a gigantic financial rip-off designed to line the pockets of its top leadership."〔Thompson, Brad and worth Weller. ''Under the Hood: Unmasking the Modern Ku Klux Klan.''〕 Berry later left the Klan six months after Jacob Holdt, a Danish photographer, produced a documentary with him about racism. () After leaving the Klan, Berry was physically assaulted by other Klan members, including his son, who believed that Berry had betrayed his race. This assault resulted in him becoming blind and an invalid. ==Books== * Thompson, Brad and Worth Weller.
