| 词条 | Judge Edward Aaron |
| 释义 |
Aaron, who was mildly developmentally disabled, was abducted by Klan members who beat him with an iron bar, carved the letters "KKK" into his chest, castrated him with a razor, and poured turpentine on his wounds. They then put him in the trunk of a car and drove him away from the scene, finally dumping him near a creek.[2] Police found Aaron, near death from blood loss, and took him to Hillman Hospital.[3] Two of the six Klansmen turned state's evidence and received five-year sentences in exchange for testifying against the other four men. Those four were convicted and received 20-year sentences at Kilby Prison. However, when George Wallace became governor of Alabama, he pardoned the four convicted men, but not the two who had turned state's evidence, with no explanation.[1][4] The 1988 film Mississippi Burning references the story of Judge Aaron, but gives his name as Homer Wilkes.[5] Notes1. ^1 {{cite book|author=W.
