White supremacists sentenced for racist beating at Lynnwood bar
SEATTLE — Four men with white supremacist ties faced federal prison sentences Friday for their roles in a racist attack on a Black DJ at a Lynnwood-area bar in 2018.
In U.S. District Court in Seattle, all four of the defendants pleaded guilty to a hate crime and making a false statement to authorities about what happened. In a series of sentencing hearings Friday, Judge Richard Jones sentenced the men to varying prison terms.
Jason DeSimas, of Tacoma, was handed four years. Under a plea agreement, prosecutors and the defense recommended three years and a month.
Jason Stanley, of Idaho, had the same plea deal. Still, Jones sentenced him to four years, as well.
