Part Time Deputy Cleared In Civil Rights Death Case
Thomas L. Coleman a 55 year old part time deputy sheriff was found innocent by a jury on a self defense plea in the death of Jonathan M. Daniels a 27 year old Episcopal seminary student. The jury acquitted on a manslaughter charge after two hours of deliberation. Coleman had shot Daniels with a 32 gauge shotgun at a country store last Aug. 2011 claiming self defense against an armed man. A second wounded civil rights volunteer Rev. Richard Morrisroe remains hospitalized in Chicago. The case leaves open the possibility of further charges in state court and draws attention to jury service issues raised by the ACLU and Episcopal Society for Cultural and Racial Unity.

Wallace Seeks Rerun and Possible 1998 Presidential Bid
Alabama Governor George C Wallace called for a special session to considering a constitutional amendment to allow him to succeed himself for another term and floated a potential run for president in 1998.
