appealed on what grounds?
according to you the feds can't interfere as long as they were given a trial.
so by your reasoning if the majority of people in a state wishes to slaughter a small minority... and that majority has control of the governorship, state legislature, and state judiciary .... the feds can do nothing to stop the slaughter, as long as the victims went through the state judicial system.

The 14th and 15th amendments (the latter with a specific mention of race) in addition to the Civil Rights act would trump state law in that case.
