OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — The jury is deliberating the fate of a white supremacist who admitted fatally shooting three people last year at two Kansas City-area Jewish sites. Before jurors got the case, defendant Frazier Miller — who is representing himself — delivered a rambling closing argument in which he described "floating on a cloud" after the killings. The Missouri man said he was motivated by what he called "the genocide against white people by Jews" and urged jurors to "show great courage" by finding him not guilty. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.
