Three life sentences is the fate of a reputed Klansman for his role in the murders of two black teens in 1963. A federal judge sentenced James Seale Friday morning for all three of Seale's convictions, two kidnapping charges and one charge of conspiracy. Seale's public defender filed a notice of appeal, but the judge turned down the request that would allow Seale out on bond while his appeal is pending. Seale was convicted for his part in the deaths of Henry Dee and Charles Moore. They disappeared from Franklin County. The two were beaten. Their bodies were found two months later in the Mississippi River.
Thomas Moore’s hard work helped reopen the case, "I am so glad that I am alive to see justice”, he said. Charles Moore was his younger brother. Thelma Collins is Dee's older sister. Knowing that the man who helped brutally end his life will never get out of jail, eases some of her heartache. “I had been sad for so long and my family have really been tore up with this,” she said.
