Convicted Klansman Wins Court Reversal In Flogging Case
In Birmingham a Ku Klux Klan member whose conviction for attempted flogging was overturned by a federal appeals court, Byrd Carradine, a school bus mechanic, was the sole conviction among eight trials tied to an outbreak of cross burning and night riding in the Spring Hill area. The panel ruled evidence did not prove a flogging occurred and ordered retrial, while highlighting previous acquittals and a $300 fine plus a three month jail term.
