For my RSS readers, I am radically redesigning my entire site, so the blog root and RSS feeds are changing. Please visit me at www.jakeadamyork.com and let's go from there. It will probably be another 2-3 weeks before all the RSS feeds are in place, but maybe you can take a gander and let me know what you think of the new look and function until then.

Justice Delayed...
June 15, 2007    File under: America , Civil Rights , Memory & Memorial

James Ford Seale is convicted of the murders of Henry Hezekiah Dee and Charles Eddie Moore 43 years after the crime. Seale had been a suspect from the beginning of the investigation, but after he and another suspect complained of police brutality, the prosecutors dropped the charges in hope of securing more evidence, which never arrived. Seale was said to have been dead, but Thomas Moore, the brother of Charles Eddie Moore, discovered Seale very much alive when he traveled back to Mississippi a few years ago while making the documentary Mississippi Cold Case (now airing on MSNBC). The documentary led directly to the re-opening of the case against Seale.

Just hours after the conviction came down, the families dedicated a memorial to Dee and Moore in Meadville, Mississippi.

More here from the Jackson Free Press, which also hosts a wonderful article giving more background.
