In 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that a fellow panther named Alex Rackley needed to die for suspicion of disloyalty. Rackley was tied to a chair and tortured for hours including pouring boiling water on him. When finished torturing Rackley, Black Panther member, Warren Kimbo took Rackley outside and put a bullet in his head.
What happened to these Black Panthers? By 1977, only one of the killers was still in jail. The shooter, Warren Kimbro, got a scholarship to Harvard. He later became an assistant dean at an Eastern Connecticut State College. Erica Huggins was the woman who served up the boiling the water for Mr. Rackley’s torture. Years later, Ms. Huggins was elected to a California School Board.
How in the world did these killers get off so easy? They got off through the efforts of two lawyers who defended the Panthers. These two people actually shut down Yale University with demonstrations in defense of the accused Black Panthers during their trial. One of these people was Bill Lan Lee. Mr. Lan Lee was head of the United States Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, appointed by Bill Clinton. The other Panther defender? Is this other Panther lawyer now an assistant college dean? No! The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law student at Yale University at the time. She likes to be known as “The smartest woman in the world.” She is none other than the Democratic senator from the State of New York, former First Lady, and current leading democratic candidate for the 2008 Presidential nomination, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
