 JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - The judge in the case of a reputed Ku Klux Klansman charged with kidnapping in the 1964 slayings of two black men rejected a defense motion to remove himself from the case Thursday.
James Ford Seale's trial is scheduled to begin April 2, but it is likely to be delayed because of several pending pretrial motions, including one by the defense to move proceedings out of Jackson.
Federal prosecutor Paige Fitzgerald said the planned start date "is appearing less realistic at this point."
