Government Deliberates Prosecution Under Civil Rights Statutes
FBI findings given to Gov. Coleman and Pearl River County authorities prompt possible use of two civil rights statutes. One targets deprivation of rights under color of law with up to one year and $1,000 fines, the other targets conspiracies by private citizens with up to 10 years or $5,000. Some say Parker case rights were state rather than federal. Parker was jailed in Poplarville on rape charges at the time of the lynching.
