Overview: Sufficient evidence existed for a jury to convict defendant of setting fires to violate 42 U.S.C.S. § 3631 because there was testimony that defendant made numerous racist remarks and vulgar racial epithets during the relevant time frame and with reference to the fire victims. Whether defendant had additional motives as well was irrelevant.
