CHICAGO (AP) — The lawyer for a neo-Nazi says appellate judges in Chicago reinstated his client's conviction for soliciting a threat against a juror out of "hatred" rather than for sound legal reasons.

The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday reversed a lower court's decision that William White's inflammatory postings on a website were protected by the First Amendment.

Attorney Nishay Sanan says the judges were guided by what he described as "hatred" toward White and his views. Sanan says he'd like to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court but White will make that decision.
