Court approves federal trial of 17 in Mississippi
The Supreme Court ruled federal prosecution may proceed against 17 defendants in Mississippi for the 1964 slayings of three civil rights workers near Philadelphia. Justice Fortas led the Mississippi case with a broad view of acting under color of law, while Penn cases involved interstate travel rights and jury instructions. The Court also revived federal charges in the Lemuel Penn killing in Georgia, with Justice Stewart noting the need for a specific intent to infringe federal rights. Four opinions followed, with dissents by Harlan and Brennan.
