Dennis Mahon was sentenced to 40 years in prison for conspiracy to damage buildings and property by means of explosive, and malicious damage of a building by means of explosive to run concurrently, and 33 months on distribution of information related to explosives to also run concurrently.
The evidence at trial showed that a bomb detonated at the City of Scottsdale Office of Diversity and Dialogue on February 26, 2004, causing injury to Donald Logan, Renita Linyard, and others. The evidence also showed that Mahon had specific knowledge of how the bomb, addressed to Donald Logan, was constructed. The evidence further showed that Mahon conspired with other individuals on behalf of the White Aryan Resistance to promote racial violence.
Pete Zegarac, Inspector in Charge of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service’s Phoenix Division said, “This case demonstrated that radical extremists like Dennis Mahon, who attempted to inflict harm and fear on others, will be relentlessly pursued for their heinous actions, regardless of how long it takes.”
Following a six-week trial in February 2012, a federal jury found Mahon guilty on all three counts in the superseding indictment in the 2004 bombing of the City of Scottsdale Office of Diversity and Dialogue, and the injury to Donald Logan and other victims. U.S. District Judge David G. Campbell presided over the case.
