	Verdict in Mississippi Fails to Douse Burning Embers
		This was unfinished business for the country, especially for Mississippi and most particularly for Neshoba County, where the murders took place.
		Essentially, the defense attorneys told the jurors it was not their job to ease the reputation of racial injustice from the county and the state, nor was it to render a verdict about the Klan.
		The tipping point in the case came when the prosecution team asked the judge to allow a finding of manslaughter as well as murder: "in case jurors believe the Klansmen didn't initially intend to murder the three civil rights workers." And the jury chose manslaughter, a negligent act, not purposeful.
