Neo-Nazi Leader Jeff Hall's Son Faces Short Time Behind Bars

The 10-year-old boy accused in the slaying of his father, white supremacist leader Jeff Hall, faces very little time behind bars, according to officials in southern California.

"Because of his age, he cannot be tried as an adult," John Hall, a spokesman for the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office, told The Huffington Post. “Everything will be occurring in juvenile court.”

If the child is ultimately convicted of his father’s murder, he will be kept in juvenile custody until he is 18 years old. He will then be released or transferred to another facility until he is 25 years old, Hall said.

"Twenty-five would be the max," added Hall, meaning the boy cannot be held past his 25th birthday.

Authorities found Hall, a 32-year-old plumber, dead inside his Riverside home at about 4 a. m. Sunday. He died of a single gunshot wound, the Riverside County Sheriff-Coroner said. Police say his son admitted to the shooting.
