Edgar Ray Killen sentenced to 60 years

Post by Voronwë »

Justice not truly served, as the man has walked free in society for 41 years. He may not have many more days on planet earth (he's old and in poor health), but at least every one of those days will be in prison.
[color=red][b]CNN[/b][/color].com wrote:PHILADELPHIA, Mississippi (CNN) -- A Mississippi judge Thursday sentenced former Ku Klux Klansman Edgar Ray Killen to 60 years in prison for the manslaughter of three civil rights workers in 1964.

Killen, 80, was convicted on three counts of manslaughter Tuesday, 41 years to the day a Klan mob ambushed and killed the civil rights workers -- James Chaney, 21; Andrew Goodman, 20; and Michael Schwerner, 24.
