Who was Delmar Dennis?

Answer 1

Delmar Dennis (1940-1996) was a Mississippi white supremacist Baptist and Methodist minister who served as chaplain for a KKK chapter. Although he was strongly implicated in organizing the December 1964 murders of Mickey Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman, 3 civil rights volunteers, he testified as a paid FBI informant in the prosecution of 18 defendants in their sensational 1967 trial in Meridian, Mississippi. Seven were convicted of various charges but the longest sentence given was only ten years by the trial judge, William Harold Cox who later said: "They killed one 'n-word' [not the derogatory term used by Judge Cox but necessitated by WikiAnswers censorship], one Jew, and a white man. I gave them what I thought they deserved."
