I don't think what happened to Mr. Seale is very fair.  Serving a prison term 44 years after the crime he supposedly committed took place is ridiculous.  That would be like me going to jail in 32 years for something I supposedly did in the 3rd grade, with a liar as a witness.  I do admit that I stole a kid’s pencil though.  Jerk.

I do not think that Mr. Seale’s relatives were very wise for claiming he was dead.  That’s not suspicious at all.

While I greatly respect the US legal system, this case makes it look quite silly.  The fact that the judge would even consider hearing a 44 year old case is just stupid, especially because of a lack of evidence.  44 years is a really long time for no legal action. 

I do sympathize with the brother of the victim, although after 44 years he should settle down, especially since the old man hasn't been doing anything illegal since the alleged crime (because he has supposedly been dead).  Maybe Seale saw the error of his ways and has since quit the Klan and joined a southern Baptist Afro-American congregation (Blues Brothers style).  By 2007 the brother could have gone through enough therapy to maybe even forgive the dude.  I guess for him vengeance is sweet.

However, I do understand how both people feel.  Seale is probably pissed that they found him and pressed charges 44 years later.  Moore is finally able to sleep at night, not to mention he is pleased that he "disrupted his life."  Moore should have been content with Seale's health condition and considered that punishment enough.  After all, how could you put an old man with bone growths in jail?
