In Mississippi, a former Ku Klux Klansman has been released on bail less than two months after he was convicted of masterminding the 1964 killing of three civil rights workers, James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner. Edgar Ray Killen was released on bail while he is appealing the convictions. Local resident Jewel Rush McDonald said, ” We have worked so hard in trying to clear this dark cloud from over Neshoba County, and as far as I’m concerned the judge just set us back 41 years.”
