He was the attorney for Aryan Nations, and they lost their lawsuit and everything they had. He was the spokesperson for Prussian Blue, and they publicly given up white supremacy once they grew up. He said he didn’t try to kill his wife and her mother and even though his wife stood by him, he was stil sent to prison for the plot. We are guessing he said he will live through prison.

Aryan Nations Edgar J. Steele, who was serving a 50-year prison sentence for plotting to kill his wife and her mother, died Sept. 4 after weeks of declining health. He was 69.
“Today, September 4, 2014, early afternoon, a California mortuary notified Mrs. Cyndi Steele that her husband Edgar was dead,” the Free Edgar Steele website reported, promoting the idea that he was murdered. “Since that time, specific circumstances regarding Mr. Steele’s death are being confirmed.”
Cyndi Steele never believed her husband was involved in the plot to kill her and has stood by him, even after his 2011 conviction on four felonies for paying his handyman in silver to kill Steele’s wife and mother-in-law with a car bomb. The handyman Larry Fairfax was also convicted. Steele also was convicted on a witness tampering charge for calling his wife after his arrest to get her to say that the voice on FBI recordings wasn’t his.
Before his arrest, Edgar Steele was a prominent attorney in white supremacist circles, representing Aryan Nations in the 2000 lawsuit filed by the Southern Poverty Law Center on behalf of a woman and her son who were shot at outside Butler’s Hayden Lake compound. Steele lost that court battle, and the $6.3 million award bankrupted the group and shut down the compound. Steele, however went on to write books and give commentaries via recordings and writings that can be found on the Internet. He was the spokesman for the preteen white power duo Prussian Blue when their covers of white power songs made them infamous. He was a favorite guest on white supremacist internet radio shows and podcasts, and the anti-Semitic Tea Party band Pokerface raised money for his legal fees.
At the time of his death Steele was in a federal prison in Victorville, CA.
