TATTOO YOURSELF A FAVOUR

Defendant's tattoos were covered up after a panel of potential jurors said they would not be able to treat his case fairly

A TATTOOED neo-Nazi’s trial for robbery is going to be a cover-up from start to finish . . .

A judge in the US ruled that Bayzle Morgan’s inkings must be hidden with make-up so the jury hearing his case is not prejudiced.

Morgan, 24, has “Baby Nazi” on his neck and “Most Hated” on his forehead.

He also has a swastika inside a clover on his cheek and other markings on his eyebrows.

He was unrecognisable from his police mugshot on the first day of his trial in Las Vegas.

Judge Richard Scotti even agreed to delay jury selection so Morgan’s make-up could be re-applied in court.

Morgan also faces a murder charge.

Another judge will have to decide if he covers up again next month for that trial.
