Klansman's bail revoked in 'Mississippi Burning' case

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.

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.

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