Abstract
When the state of Mississippi returned indictments Thursday in the 1964 slayings of three civil rights workers in Philadelphia, it took the first step in a long and involved legal process on the road to justice, said University of Mississippi law professor Michael Waterstone. "Reopening civil rights murder cases raises complicated issues of state and federal law," Waterstone said. "There's definitely a high payoff, as it can bring closure and justice to the community, but on the other hand it begins a long and complicated process."
