Jailed, released, jailed again: whiplash in a leading neo-Nazi’s legal case

Federal prosecutors charged Robert Rundo in 2018 for rioting, a judge threw out the case last week - and another reinstated it

The violent neo-Nazi Robert Rundo thought he'd won freedom last week after a US district court judge in California threw out a federal indictment against the white-nationalist militant, arguing prosecutors selectively went after him and did not put far-leftist protesters through the same treatment.

Fewer than 12 hours later, Rundo found himself in jail again on the order of appellate judges from the ninth circuit.
