- <p> SENTENCED. BYRON DE LA BECKWITH, 73, white supremacist and former
- fertilizer salesman; to life imprisonment for the 1963 murder
- of Mississippi civil rights leader Medgar Evers. Beckwith had
- been tried twice in 1964, but all-white juries deadlocked both
- times. He was reindicted in 1990 after new witnesses came forward,
- and last week a jury of eight blacks and four whites found him
- guilty.
