26 year old Michael Jacques of Springfield surrendered to US Marshalls Friday to be detained until sentencing He showed up at noon at the federal court house
in Springfield still declaring his innocence and denying he is a racist

of God in Christs' newly constructed building within hours of the November 2008 election of Barack Obama as the country's first African-American President.. There was
testimony that they had used racial slurs in the past, and had voiced alarm about the prospect of a black man becoming president.

Minutes before he would be taken into custody, a day after the jury's verdict, reporters asked Jacques if he felt any remorse .....
