Re: Mississippi Burning Trial
He didn't actually do the deed himself, Moosie. I suppose the jury felt the evidence of his involvement wasn't sufficient to warrant a muder conviction.
I have to say, it felt like a bit of a show trial to me. I don't want to be a big buzzkill or anything and I very much hope the families of the victims feel like some kind of justice has finally been done, but the impression I've gotten from the articles I've read is that they reran the trial from 40 years ago only with a jury of more updated sensibilities.
