In 2007 the FBI decided to reopen the trials of the murders of black people during Jim Crow and the Civil Rights Movement. However, to date, 0 people have been persecuted. It is called the Cold Case Initiative - perhaps indicating the cold heart of people refusing to try white murders.
This same week a notorious Klansman - James Ford Steele - had his conviction of kidnapping two men overturned. He was sentenced in 2007 and released of responsibility because the statue on trying kidnapping charges had passed.
In other words, the longer you wait - the less people you have to hold accountable.
However, we don't mind holding innocent black people in jail for crimes they didn't commit. See The Innocence Project for more information. If we do release them we certainly wont help them get back on their feet.
