In Mississippi: A Teen gets 2 Life Sentences for Racial Murder


Last June, Deryl Dedmon killed James Craig Anderson because he was Black. He was encouraged by friends to find a Black person and attack them. This foolishness led to Deryl running over James in his pickup truck and killing him.

Today, Deryl was sentenced 2 life terms in prison.

Deryl, however, did apologized to the family of James during the hearing.

I hope he learned something from all of this.

I learned something. Mississippi's court system was fair in this instance as long as there's no chance for parole. This kind of stupidity does not belong in the streets.

The sister of James Craig Anderson testified that she didn't want him to get the death penalty.
