Though he got to live out a long life, former deputy and reputed Klansman James Ford Seale will stand trial for the 1964 kidnappings and slayings of two black men.
Federal judge Henry T. Wingate also denied bail for Seale so, he’ll be remaining in jail while he’s on trial.
Seale is accused of taking part in the 1964 kidnappings and killings of Charles Eddie Moore and Henry Hezekiah Dee. In the incident, the men were seized, beaten and thrown into the Mississipi river to drown.
Recently, the investigation into this incident was reopened by the Justice Department and Seale was arrested after it was learned that he was still alive.
