Man Convicted of Burning Cross Outside Black Family Home
Melvin V. Burkett pleaded guilty in Hampton Circuit Court to burning a cross in the Doves’ yard with intent to intimidate during the August 31 incident. Sentencing set for February 4. The Doves, who had just moved in, and their children aged 10 to 12, witnessed the blaze after Burkett fashioned the cross from wood planks. He admitted the act, saying he had been drinking. The Doves plan to remain in the neighborhood as they work to put the incident behind them.
