He was an ex-convict who was sentenced to life in prison for murdering a girl after he robbed her of about $100. He wound up getting released early on parole.
If he was murdered, I doubt it has anything to do with his color and was pertaining instead to her family seeking vigilante justice.
It is pretty hard to hang somebody without tying their hands, isn’t it?
yours is more ordered and considerably more concise

All he would have to do was to climb the tree and then some how tie or affix the sheet around his neck and then the tree limb and then then just jump from the tree.
Thet don’t need more “patients” like him!
Lots more info in this article including some very interesting stuff about the murdered woman’s daughter.
LOL! Give me a break.
I understand and will allow a nice break.
I think the distinguishing characteristic of a lynching was its public or semi-public nature. The perps therefore seldom if ever felt the need to hide their identities.
A murder, even by a group, is not exactly the same thing as a lynching. IMO, of course.

And that’s likely EXACTLY what happened. I wonder how much money the felon lost at the casino prior to his death.
“...it would seem he needed some assistance to be hanging from a branch that was 12 feet up. Was there a hill or a wall nearby? How much weight would a decomposed body lose in 20 days? Could the branch have hung lower when he weighed more before? Could he have done this on the back of a horse? Or on top of a truck that someone moved without knowing he was there?...”

Wow...you sure have a vivid imagination. I would have thought that this convicted murderer who served 25 years in prison (where he likely frequently had thoughts of hanging himself with his sheet/blanket but had nothing in the cell to hang from) would have simply gone to a suitable tree with his sheet, climbed the tree to a suitable height, tied one end of the sheet firmly to the tree limb, tied the other end firmly around his neck and then just dropped from the tree.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Holder’s FBI let this story “twist in the wind” (pun intended) for a long time to keep the lynching narrative alive. Poor activists, they only have FAUX lynchings to rally around now.
“The media is going to get their race war if it’s the last thing they do.”
Well,, that’s where the ‘news” and the money is!
If her family got his murdering ass more power to them
But I doubt it
Hands no sign of tying
Handmade rope with feet only 2-3 feet above ground
No signs of scuffle or beating
Not left in public spot
County and town 80-90% black
Strange fruit unlikely
If her family killed him it’s not about race it’s about actual justice
Is it a lynching then....not sure
How many whites in Mississippi robbed raped or murdered by blacks in past 72 hours
Why do they get no special FBI attention for hate crime or media obsession
What about the burned girl
I see posters here who are quick to show up anywhere here to do with any chance southern racism
Coincidence?
“We are going to hold off on coming to any conclusions until the facts take us to a definitive answer.”
How refreshing to hear that from a Fed.
Sorry to say you’re right!
If he was lynched it’s a despicable act.
However, the administration is hoping that a Whitey did it so it can further restrict the rights of non-racist Whiteys.
