A 20-year-old man who was arrested and charged with murdering his high school classmate, Blaze Bernstein, previously expressed violent viewpoints and defended the Confederate flag, according to a news report.
Samuel Lincoln Woodward of North Beach, California, was arrested on Jan. 12, three days after Bernstein’s body was found in a shallow grave at Borrego Park in the Orange County community of Lake Forest, about 50 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
