In 1998, Hale was banned from practicing law in Illinois by a state panel that evaluated the character and fitness of would-be lawyers. The panel stated that Hale's incitement to racial hatred, for the ultimate purpose of depriving certain groups of their legal rights, was immoral and made him unworthy to become a lawyer.
In 2005, Hale was sentenced to 40 years in prison in federal prison for asking an undercover FBI informer to kill federal judge Joan Lefkow. The projected release date is December 6, 2037.

Kehidupan awal
Hale was born in 1971 and grew up in East Peoria, Illinois, a town on the Illinois River. At the age of 12, he read books on National Socialism, such as Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf, and had formed a group at his school.
In August 1989, Hale entered Bradley University, studying political science. At the age of 19, Hale burned an Israeli flag at a demonstration and was found guilty of violating East Peoria rules against open arson. The following year, he distributed racist pamphlets to customers at a shopping center and was fined for littering. In May 1991, Hale and his brother allegedly threatened three African-Americans with guns. Hale was arrested for mass action, and because he refused to notify the police where his brother was, he was also charged with a crime of humiliation. Hale was punished for being hindered, but won an appeal. In 1992, Hale attacked a security guard at a mall and was accused of a criminal offense, refusing arrest, exacerbating the battery and carrying hidden weapons. For this attack, Hale was sentenced to 30 months probation and six months of house arrest.
In 1990, Hale was expelled from Bradley University, where he studied political science. In 1995, he dissolved the National Socialist Socialist Nationalist Party (NSWAP) and instead formed the New Creator Church, the revival of the Ben Klassen "Creator Church" group of believers, who believed that the white race was the creator of all that was valuable. civilization. The Church believes that "racial holy war" is necessary to achieve a "white world" without Jews and non-whites. To this end, he urges his members to "fill the ground on this earth with whites exclusively."
After Hale designated himself "Pontifex Maximus", he changed the name of the organization to the Church of the Creator World.

Controversy regarding legal licensing
Hale graduated from the University of Southern Illinois Law School in May 1998 and passed the bar exam in July of the same year.
On December 16, 1998, Illinois Bar's Committee on Character and Fitness rejected Hale's application for a license to practice law. Hale appealed, and the hearing was held on April 10, 1999. On 30 June 1999, the Hearing Panel of the Committee declined to argue that Hale had the necessary moral character and fitness to enforce the law in Illinois. Glenn Greenwald's lawyer represents Hale in a federal suit that failed to overturn the licensing decision. The US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois concluded that they had no jurisdiction to review the earlier decision of the Illinois Supreme Court that upheld the license's refusal. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeal affirmed the decision in an opinion filed on July 14, 2003.
Two days after Hale was denied a license for legal practice, the World Church member Creator and student Benjamin Smith continued a three-day shooting where he randomly targeted members of racial and ethnic minorities in Illinois and Indiana. Starting on July 2, 1999, Smith shot nine Orthodox Jews as they walked to and from their synagogue in the West Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago. He also killed two people, including former Northwestern University basketball coach Ricky Byrdsong, in Evanston, Illinois, and a 26-year-old Korean graduate student, Won-Joon Yoon, who was on his way to church in Bloomington, Indiana. Smith wounded nine others before committing suicide on July 4. Mark Potok, director of intelligence for the Southern Poverty Law Center, believes that Smith may have acted in retaliation after Hale's application to practice law was denied.
During a television interview in the summer of 1999, Hale stated that "his church does not justify violent or illegal activities".
Federal belief
In 2000, a religious group in Oregon called the Creator Church sued the Hale organization, World Church Creator, for trademark infringement.
Hale filed a lawsuit against Judge Joan Lefkow, a US district court judge presiding over a trademark infringement case which, after appeal, had decided against Hale's organization. Hale stated that WCOTC was in a "state of war" with Lefkow, and denounced Lefkow at a press conference, claiming that he was biased against him because he was married to a Jewish man and had a biracial grandson.
On January 8, 2003, Hale was arrested, charged with asking an informant FBI who was disguised to kill Lefkow.
On February 28, 2005, Lefkow's mother and husband were murdered at his home in Chicago's North Side. Chicago police revealed on March 10 that Bart Ross, the plaintiff in a medical malpractice case that Lefkow had dismissed, admitted the murder in a suicide note written before firing himself during a regular traffic stop in Wisconsin the night before. Murder and suicide are not related to Hale or Creativity.
On April 6, 2005, Hale was sentenced to 40 years in prison for attempting to demand Lefkow's murder. During the trial, the jury heard over a dozen Hale tapes using racial insults (considered a virtue in Creativity), including one in which he joked about the shooting action of Benjamin Smith's killer.
In June 2016, Hale was transferred from ADX Florence to the medium-security federal FCI Terre Haute, Indiana, to serve the remainder of his sentence.
The release date projected by Hale is December 6, 2037. If he is released at that time, he will be 66 years old.
