You know, when I was reading over the comment I made about it being only now that Killen could receive a fair hearing it came to me that I might have left the wrong impression. What I said could have been interpreted a couple of ways. What I was trying to say was that in the 60's it would have been hard to convict a white man for a crime on a black man. If found guilty at all it would probably have been of a much lesser charge than the one he deserved. Now that has changed in the south and if the evidence is there he will be found guilty.

Your point is well taken by me We can all follow the events and hope for the power of an uncorrupted jury system. The last bastion of justice in many cases.
