Black Sheriff Faces Federal Trial in Alabama
Alabama’s first black sheriff since Reconstruction, Lucius Amerson, and his chief deputy Richard Coleman Jr., go on trial on a civil rights charge for beating a man in Macon County. The victim, Wilbert Dean Harris, also faces assault with intent to murder charges from a jail shootout in Tuskegee. The defense cites a campaign against black officeholders and warns of broader repercussions for law enforcement if Amerson is convicted.

The nun left a letter and both were An Quang sect members. Authorities said no advance warning was given and it was unclear if the acts signal a wider political tactic.
