((Throughout this trial prosecutors made Bobby Frank Cherry--the poster boy for hate. They claim the now 71-year old former Klansman took part in one of the deadliest acts of violence during the civil rights movement--the 1963 bombing of Birmingham's 16th street Baptist church.
In closing Prosecutor Don Cochran said-(graphic) "FOR ABOUT 39 YEARS THIS DEFENDANT HAS MOCKED JUSTICE. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE TIME FOR JUSTICE IS HERE."
Prosecutors hammered home Cherry's racist activities and views. During the case they showed video of Cherry involved in a gang style beating of a man trying to enroll his children in a newly integrated school. That's Cherry highlighted--his lit cigarette never left his mouth. The man he beat--Fred Shuttlesworth was in court.

(SOT FRED SHUTTLESWORTH)
"I DON'T SEE HOW ANYBODY WHO COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AS MUCH AS HE IS INVOLVED IN - THEY COULDN'T FIND ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO CONVICT HIM
But defense attorneys said there WASN'T enough evidence to link Cherry to the bombing--it was guilt by association.
Cherry's attorney Mickey Johnson told jurors (graphic) "MORE TIME HAS BEEN SPENT IN THIS COURTROOM THROWING THE "N' WORLD AROUND THAN PROOF OF WHAT HAPPENED HERE IN 1963"
Cherry never testified because his attorneys said he suffers from dementia and is easily confused...but in 1997 he denied any involvement.
