Ben Chester White

For some reason, Trayvon's case reminds me of the killing of Ben Chester White.
Mr. White was 67yrs. old when in 1966, in Mississippi, three white men offered him a job. Their original aim, according to one of the vicious ones was to "kill them a nigger".
They took the African-American senior citizen out to a field, and killed him.
One of the killers confessed; but his jury couldn't decide on a verdict. No other trial was ever held.
Charges against the ring leader of this trio were dropped. The third killer, the last man to be tried
last man to be tried, was acquitted.
According to the confession of the man who admitted the killing, Mr. White's last words were, "Lord,
what in the world did I do to deserve this?"
Those are the words the man who confessed could not forget- leading him to admit his culpability
to the police.
I can see Trayvon's killer has no such conscience.
But I've been thinking Ben White's alleged last words must have been something along the line of
what Trayvon was thinking when his chest exploded in fire.
His killer is likely a sexual predator who knocked the ear bud from Trayvon's ear, wrestled the child
to the ground, and pinned him. So he wouldn't have defensive marks on him. He was the one with
MMA training. If Tryavon landed any blows, it was by design of the predator.
The young man never knew what hit him. His screaming came as he realized what was happening to
him.
The police, knowing the killer, were most assuredly not going to do forensics on Trayvon's body, or
on that of this killer.
Now, if you had to prosecute this case in front of a hometown jury- not your hometown, knowing you
were not allowed to allude to assault, how would you do it?
The prosecutors did a good job. There was not going to be a point to inflaming this jury.This was
obviously a group of women who loved the idea of having a "protector" in the neighborhood.
So as my daughter was saying, he's soon going to be "coming to a neighborhood near you".
