In Mississippi, the state’s attorney general has asked that Ku Klux Klansman Edgar Ray Killen be put back in jail. Killen was released on bail on Friday. Six weeks ago Killen was convicted of masterminding the 1964 killings of three civil rights workers. The state attorney general also revealed that one of Killen’s brothers threatened to kill the judge in the case a week before trial began.
