BREAKING: James Ford Seale Receives Life in Prison

A former Klansman, who was thought to be dead until the brother a man he kidnapped and helped kill went to Franklin County with the CBC and the Jackson Free Press and found him living in a trailer, was sentenced to three life sentences this morning on federal kidnapping and conspiracy charges, reported the Associated Press.

Read the JFP's Dee-Moore archive here for full background and the stories leading up to this point.

I guess the morale of this story is: "You can run but, you can't hide." Many years have passed since this egregious act took place. It is my hope that the sentencing will mirrow the crime.

Seales got life. I hope he finds a husband or boyfriend soon and makes love daily. A report was just issue recently saying people are having sex into their seventies now.

Life??? What's that like 2 more years? Wish they could send him to Unit 32 ;)

I just got the joke. I'm so slow.

Even Seale may not live another 20 years or so (but you never know these days), I'm still glad that he got those life sentences. I just hope he has a mind to repent one day.
