[JURIST] A Mississippi judge on Friday ordered Edgar Ray Killen [JURIST news archive] to return to prison while he appeals his conviction for the 1964 killings of three civil rights workers. Circuit Judge Marcus Gordon revoked Killen's bail [JURIST report] during the appeal after District Attorney Mark Duncan presented evidence that Killen misrepresented his health condition. Defense lawyers for Killen, 80, have maintained that he is confined to a wheelchair due to an earlier logging accident, but a deputy sheriff reported seeing Killen walking around last week. Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood had previously sought to have Killen's bail revoked based on reported death threats [JURIST report] made by Killen's brother prior to trial. Killen, a former Klansman, was sentenced to three 20-year terms after being convicted of the killings [JURIST report] in June. AP has more.
