Klansman wins right to appeal

James Ford Seale, the reputed Ku Klux Klan member serving three life sentences for his role in the 1964 abduction and murder of two black Mississippi teenagers, has another chance to dispute his conviction.

Seale was convicted on June 14 last year of kidnapping and conspiracy in the abductions of Charles Eddie Moore and Henry Hezekiah Dee, both 19, who disappeared from Mississippi on May 2, 1964. Their decomposed bodies were later pulled from the muddy waters of the Mississippi River.
