Jeffrey Russell "Jeff" Hall was a plumber in Riverside, California, and the regional leader of the National Socialist Movement. On May 1, 2011, he was shot to death, with his own gun, by his own 10-year-old son Joseph. The murder took place at 4 a.m. as Hall slept on his couch.〔 Hall was a neo-Nazi, who believed in fighting for an all-white society and had said that he would die for the cause. According to the boy, the motive for the murder was that he was tired of his father hitting him and his stepmother.〔 On September 25, 2011, the story of the murder was broadcast on ''60 Minutes''.〔 In October 2013, when the boy was 13, he was sentenced to seven more years in juvenile prison, despite his defense attorney portraying him as a victim of both his father's racist beliefs and his violent upbringing.〔 〕 ==Family history== Jeffrey Hall was the son of Joann Patterson. He was previously married to Leticia Neal, having two children with her. The two divorced sometime after, after which Neal had twins by another father. In 2003, the twins were hospitalized for failing to thrive, resulting in Child Protective Services removing Hall's two children. Social workers reported that Neal's home had no electricity or gas, that there were maggots on dishes, and that the children were dirty, malnourished, and had bruises.〔 At the time, Hall was on probation for driving under the influence. As a result, his two children were temporarily placed with their grandmother. In 2004, Hall was granted full custody of his children.〔 After divorcing Neal, Hall married Krista McCary and had three more daughters with her. At the time of his death, he had five children. According to his grandmother, Joseph was a volatile and violent child. He had been expelled from several schools for attacking students and staff, once nearly choking a teacher with a phone cord.〔 She said he had no understanding of cause and effect. Joseph and his sisters had been educated at home by their parents under the guidance of River Springs Charter School. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Murder of Jeff Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
