[Peace-discuss] Goodman, Chaney, Schwerner: Message for Eric Holder

[Jenifer Cartwright]

Message to Eric Holder re Chaney, Goodman, Schwerner:

Analogous to Trayvon-Zimmerman, seems to me. Avoids issue of double jeopardy, trying to prove racism, getting FL to agree to a mistrial (tho' clearly it was). Gets the Federal Branch to stand for something moral, for a change.

Excerpted from Wikipedia: 

"Because Mississippi officials refused to prosecute the killers for 
murder, a state crime, the federal government, led by prosecutor John Doar, charged 18 individuals under 18 U.S.C. §242 and §371 with conspiring to deprive the three of their civil rights (by murder). They indicted Sheriff Rainey, Deputy Sheriff Price and 16 other men."
