GREENVILLE, S.C. — A white South Carolina man who pleaded guilty to trying to hire a hit man from the Ku Klux Klan to kill a black neighbour has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison. She said Lecroy was trying to get rid of an extremely troublesome neighbour who happened to be African American. But federal prosecutor William Watkins told the judge that race had everything to do with the attempted hit. He said Lecroy also suggested to the undercover agent posing as the KKK hit man that he could use a flaming cross. “He doesn’t call a biker gang,” Watkins told the judge.
