From today's Sydney Morning Herald. Good to see this ***** get his comeuppance.
"A former Ku Klux Klansman has been found guilty of kidnapping in the 1964 killings of two black men in Mississippi, a case that highlighted white supremacist violence during the civil rights era.
A federal jury deliberated just two hours before convicting James Seale, who was also charged with conspiracy in the killings of 19-year-old Henry Hezekiah Dee and Charles Eddie Moore who were kidnapped while hitchhiking.
According to the indictment and testimony, they were taken to a national forest and Seale trained a shotgun on the teenagers while his companions beat them.
They then stuffed Dee and Moore into the trunk of a car, drove them to an offshoot of the Mississippi River, attached heavy weights to them and threw them alive into the water from a boat, prosecutors said.
The jury made clear neither of the kidnapped men was "returned unharmed," a statement that may increase a sentence whose maximum amounts to a life term on each count."
The
wheels of justice may grind exceedingly slow but at least it appears they are at least a'grinding.
