Ep. 14 - Jerry Mitchell

Jerry Mitchell is an American investigative reporter who convinced authorities to reopen cold murder cases from the civil rights era. Jerry's reporting has helped to put at least four Klansmen behind bars: Byron De La Beckwith for the 1963 assassination of NAACP leader Medgar Evers, Imperial Wizard Sam Bowers for ordering the fatal firebombing of NAACP leader Vernon Dahmer in 1966, Bobby Cherry for the 1963 bombing of a Birmingham church that killed four girls and in 2005, Edgar Ray Killen, for helping orchestrate the June 21, 1964, killings of Michael Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman. His work inspired others. Since 1989, authorities in Mississippi and six other states have re-examined 29 killings from the civil rights era and made 27 arrests, leading to 22 convictions.
