USA/ CRIME: Ku Klux Klansman found guilty of conspiring in the killing of two black teenagers in 1964

In a Mississippi courthouse James Ford Seale (71) finally faced judgement for the alleged torturing and drowning of two black teenagers in 1964. The two boys, Henry Hezekiah Dee and Charles Eddie Moore, were hitchhiking during 'Freedom Summer' when hundreds of civil rights workers descended on Mississippi to campaign for voting rights. They were picked up by Seale and other Ku Klux Klan members, beaten, and then dumped in the Mississippi while still alive, attached to iron rails and other weights. Seale was arrested in 1964 in connection with the murders but charges against him were dropped.
