Mississippi Burning case may be last crime of civil rights era in which charges may be filed

In today's Jackson Clarion-Ledger, it is noted that the murders of three civil rights workers in Neshoba, Miss., in 1964 may be the last crime of that era in which prosecutions can be made. The article lists some of the Mississippi Burning suspects who have yet to be brought to justice:

"The door is closing quickly," he said. "There's not much time left."
