Both sides in the murder case against white supremacist Buford O. Furrow Jr. asked a federal judge Thursday to postpone his trial from February until April, citing, among other reasons, the need to prepare for "potential mental health issues that might arise." Furrow's lawyers have yet to say publicly whether they will claim that he was mentally impaired and, therefore, not legally responsible at the time of the crime.

Weeks afterward, people were still talking about the gunman's rampage, about the children he shot, about the hate he spewed. But the killing of Joseph Ileto remained at the fringes of discussion. Sometimes he was not mentioned at all. Ileto was not a child. He was not Jewish. And he was not at the North Valley Jewish Community Center on Aug. 10, 1999. He was Filipino American--and Buford O. Furrow Jr., a white supremacist, confessed that he had killed Ileto for the color of his skin.

His federal trial is months away, but it now appears that jurors will be able to hear Buford O. Furrow Jr.'s confession. It was given to the FBI in Las Vegas the day after the avowed white supremacist allegedly shot up a Jewish community center and gunned down a Filipino American letter carrier. The statement is lengthy--15 pages, typed single space--and its contents are largely unknown.
