The white supremacist and neo-Nazi beliefs of a Florida man accused of plotting to destroy Baltimore’s power grid are not up for debate in federal court over the next two weeks, a prosecutor and defense attorney agreed at the outset of his trial Tuesday.

Prosecutors say Brandon Russell was the leader of a neo-Nazi group who orchestrated a plot to knock out power to the city of Baltimore to sow social chaos.

On the third day of testimony, the jury heard phone conversations between a confidential informant, and Brandon Russel, who is accused of planning attacks against electrical substations in the Baltimore region along with co-conspirator Sarah Beth Clendaniel.
