Klansman's bail revoked in 'Mississippi Burning' case

Klansman's bail revoked in 'Mississippi Burning' case
Fri Sep 9, 2005 3:22 PM ET

By Jeff Edwards

PHILADELPHIA, Mississippi (Reuters) - A judge sent Edgar Ray Killen
back to prison on Friday and said the Klansman jailed for
orchestrating the murder of three civil rights workers had misled the
court about his health to win bail.

Killen, who used an oxygen tank to assist his breathing during his
trial in June, broke both legs in a tree-cutting accident in March.
He testified at his bond hearing in August that he was in great pain,
was unable to walk and needed therapy that was unavailable in prison.

But a sheriff's deputy testified on Friday that he saw 80-year-old
Killen at a gas station, walking and standing beside his pickup truck.
Several other deputies said they had seen Killen driving around town.

"I feel fraud has been committed upon the court," Circuit Court Judge
Marcus Gordon told Killen, who sat before him in a wheelchair. The
judge revoked Killen's bail.

2. He had 40 years of freedom that he didn't deserve
he should have never gotten bail. He had bail for 40 years. Get in jail you terrorist and I hope you are in pain.

8. The old psychopath obviously still has no shame at all.
Some psychopaths seem to somehow grow a conscience or at least stop offending later in life, but it's obvious that this bastard isn't one of them.

12. He lied? Gee, what a fucking surprise.
NOT. Stinky old bastard - I hope he rots in jail after lots of one-sided intimate relations with his cellmate.

14. He should be executed, and executed brutally
He should hang from a rope with his balls in his mouth, and left to be eaten my maggots.

15. Right on.
Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.
