Arizona Minuteman Murders Raise Questions About Movement

An Arizona woman, found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder, could face the death penalty.

Shawa Forde, a member of the Minuteman border watch movement, was charged in connection with two murders during a 2009 robbery.

Prosecutors painted Forde as a vigilante who wanted to finance a paramilitary operation that would seal off the border to immigrants. Her defense is based on the fact that a survivor of the home invasion could not identify Forde in a lineup.

David Ricker, a veteran Arizona reporter who has been blogging about the case, joins us to talk about it.
