                          and No:  98-2731
   Western District of Missouri   
   Criminal case - criminal law. Evidence sufficient to support cross burning 
   convictions; court properly overruled defendants' peremptory strikes of 
   African-American jurors on Batson grounds; court erred, however, in 
   increasing one defendant's offense level based on vulnerable victims, 
   as the court did not find he knew or should have known they were vulnerable.
