I am quite conflicted over the outcome of this particular case. As a black American male, James Ford Seale should remain in jail until death for his past violent transgression, but legalistically and as a firm believer in equal application of the law, Seale’s attorney made a convincing argument that warranted his release.
While the murders committed by Seale and his associate were heinous, as one of the victim’s brothers echoed, the truth has been revealed. For the rest of Seale’s natural life he will live with public shame of being an evil, murdering racist piece of shit. From the article, Seale would have had access to cancer treatment in prison. Hopefully, he is not able to afford or receive such treatment on the outside. Harsh, yes, but he deserves it. If you were able to drown two young men because of their skin color and who were of no threat to you, then you don’t deserve shit to alleviate your pain. At some point in his life, he must experience some form of physical pain and agony comparable to what his victims felt.
Legally, he deserves to be released. The law weighed in his favor. I do not see the outcome of this case as an indictment against the American justice system. It wasn’t a race base law that set the statue of limitations for kidnapping at five years and the feds case was weak at the time.
Seale is in his last days. The truth is out. The world knows of his depravity and inhumanity. He will die as a murderous racist piece of shit which is fine with me. Truth trumps vengeance and revenge.
