Killen Update
Edgar Ray Killen, convicted killer, confessed Klansmen and octogenarian has received sixty years for his part in the deaths of three civil rights workers a generation ago. The sixty years is twenty years each for the deaths he is convicted or orchestrating. The sentences are set to run consecutively, meaning this vile old man will never again be free to walk the streets. His lawyer has stated he will appeal on the grounds that the jury should not have been allowed to consider manslaughter.
