Former Klansman Blanton convicted in 16th Street bombing
The judge delayed one trial as mental competency tests were completed. On Tuesday a jury of eight whites and four blacks found Blanton, 62, guilty of first degree murder after 37 years of legal arguments and photos of the church bombing were shown. He was sentenced to life in prison amid emotional reactions from relatives of the victims. The case linked to the 1960s civil rights era crimes and followed earlier convictions of Robert Chambliss and the handling of other suspects.
