Rights slayings hinge on federal action in Hayneville
In Hayneville Alabama Judge Thagard refused to postpone trials of two men charged in separate killings. Thomas L Coleman 55 faces manslaughter charges for the shotgun slaying of Jonathan Daniels a civil rights volunteer while Collier Leroy Wilkins Jr 21 is charged with murder in the killing of Viola Liuzzo. A federal court in Montgomery was to hear a motion to delay trials pending a civil rights jury roll case. The decision hinges on whether the Coleman case proceeds this week and if Wilkins' earlier mistrial leads to a Wednesday hearing. Both sides reported threats to lawyers and officials amid the high tension proceedings.
