A Kansas jury on Monday found a 74-year-old white supremacist guilty of capital murder over the shooting deaths of three people at two Jewish facilities last year.
Frazier Glenn Miller Jr., a former Ku Klux Klan leader who defended himself in court, argued that he shot the three people because of a Jewish conspiracy to eliminate the white race.
"I wanted to kill Jews, not people," he told the court, according to the Associated Press.
The three shooting victims of the April 13, 2014, shooting were all Christians: 14-year-old Reat Underwood; his grandfather, William Corporon; and Terri LaManno, who was visiting her mother at the Jewish assisted living center when the gunman opened fire.
Jurors took less than two hours to convict Miller, according to the Kansas City Star.
"I believe the fat lady just sang," he reportedly said when the verdict was delivered.
