16th Street Baptist Church bombing

==Later prosecutions==
In 1995, ten years after Chambliss died, the FBI reopened their investigation into the church bombing. It was part of a coordinated effort between local, state and federal governments to review cold cases of the civil rights era in the hopes of prosecuting perpetrators.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/may/23/usa.duncancampbell |work=[[The Guardian]] |date=May 23, 2002 |access-date=May 27, 2019 |title=Former Klansman Convicted of Deadly Alabama Church Bombing 40 Years On |first=Duncan |last=Campbell}}</ref> They unsealed 9,000 pieces of evidence previously gathered by the FBI in the 1960s (many of these documents relating to the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing had not been made available to DA William Baxley in the 1970s). In May 2000, the FBI publicly announced their findings that the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing had been committed by four members of the KKK splinter group known as the ''Cahaba Boys.'' The four individuals named in the FBI report were Blanton, Cash, Chambliss, and Cherry.<ref name=ghosts /> By the time of the announcement, Herman Cash had also died;  however, Thomas Blanton and Bobby Cherry were still alive. Both were arrested.<ref>{{cite news|last=Leith |first=Sam |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1395117/Klansman-convicted-of-killing-black-girls.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1395117/Klansman-convicted-of-killing-black-girls.html |archive-date=January 12, 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title=Klansman Convicted of Killing Black Girls |website=The Telegraph |date=May 23, 2002 |access-date=September 16, 2013 |location=London}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

On May 16, 2000, a [[grand jury]] in Alabama indicted Thomas Edwin Blanton and Bobby Frank Cherry on eight counts each in relation to the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. Both named individuals were charged with four counts of first-degree murder, and four counts of universal malice.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2013/06/13/us/1963-birmingham-church-bombing-fast-facts/ |work=[[CNN]] |date=September 7, 2018 |access-date=May 28, 2019 |title=1963 Birmingham Church Bombing Fast Facts }}</ref> The following day, both men surrendered to police.<ref name=lastchance>{{cite book|first=T.

The state prosecution had originally intended to try both defendants together; however, the trial of Bobby Cherry was delayed due to the findings of a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation.<ref>{{cite news |title=As Church Bombing Trial Begins in Birmingham, the City's Past Is Very Much Present |first=Kevin |last=Sack |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=April 25, 2001 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/25/us/church-bombing-trial-begins-birmingham-city-s-past-very-much-present.html |access-date=November 21, 2010}}</ref> It concluded that [[vascular dementia]] had impaired his mind, therefore making Cherry mentally incompetent to stand trial or assist in his own defense.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=pF1IAAAAIBAJ&pg=2769,2868949 |title=A Long Time Coming |work=[[Toledo Blade]] |date=April 26, 2001 |access-date=May 28, 2019 }}</ref>

On April 10, 2001, Judge James Garrett indefinitely postponed Cherry's trial, pending further medical analysis.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=fUogAAAAIBAJ&pg=5553,42631 |title=Cherry Found Mentally Sound |work=[[The Tuscaloosa News]] |date=June 1, 2001 |access-date=May 28, 2019 |agency=Associated Press }}</ref> In January 2002, Judge Garrett ruled Cherry mentally competent to stand trial and set an initial trial date for April 29.

===Thomas Edwin Blanton===
Thomas Edwin Blanton Jr. was brought to trial in Birmingham, Alabama, before Judge James Garrett on April 24, 2001.<ref name="wsws.org May 5, 2001"/> Blanton pleaded not guilty to the charges and chose not to testify on his behalf throughout the trial.

In his [[opening statement]] to the jurors, defense attorney John Robbins acknowledged his client's affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan and his views on racial segregation. But, he warned the jury: "Just because you don't like him, that doesn't make him responsible for the bombing."<ref name="Lakeland Ledger Apr. 25, 2001"/>

The prosecution called a total of seven witnesses to testify in their case against Blanton, including relatives of the victims, John Cross, the former pastor of the 16th Street Baptist Church; an FBI agent named William Fleming, and Mitchell Burns, a former Klansman who had become a paid FBI informant. Burns had secretly recorded several conversations with Blanton in which the latter (Blanton) had gloated when talking about the bombing, and had boasted the police would not catch him when he bombed another church.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=L1wpAAAAIBAJ&pg=5456,7112358 |work=[[The Tuscaloosa News]] |date=November 23, 2002 |title=Former Klansman who was Key Witness at Bombing Trial Dies |agency=Associated Press |access-date=May 28, 2019 }}</ref>

The most crucial piece of evidence presented at Blanton's trial was an audio recording secretly taped by the FBI in June 1964, in which Blanton was recorded discussing his involvement in the bombing with his wife, who can be heard accusing her husband of conducting an affair with a woman named Waylen Vaughn two nights before the bombing. Although sections of the recording—presented in evidence on April 27—are unintelligible, Blanton can twice be heard mentioning the phrase "plan a bomb" or "plan the bomb". Most crucially, Blanton can also be heard saying that he was not with Miss Vaughn but, two nights before the bombing, was at a meeting with other Klansmen on a bridge above the [[Cahaba River]].<ref name="Star-News Apr. 28, 2001">{{cite news |title=Secret Tape Played at Trial |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=SQlPAAAAIBAJ&pg=6533,3381307 |work=[[Star-News]] |date=April 28, 2001 |first=Jay |last=Reeves |agency=Associated Press |access-date=May 28, 2019 }}</ref> He said: "You've got to have a meeting to plan a bomb."<ref name="Star-News Apr. 28, 2001"/>

In addition to calling attention to flaws in the prosecution's case, the defense exposed inconsistencies in the memories of some prosecution witnesses who had testified. Blanton's attorneys criticized the validity and quality of the 16 tape recordings introduced as evidence,<ref>{{cite news |title=Church Bombing Verdict Hinges on how Jurors Understand Tapes |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=l7oeAAAAIBAJ&pg=6433,11863857 |first=Bob |last=Johnson |work=[[Spartanburg Herald-Journal]] |date=April 29, 2001 |access-date=May 28, 2019 }}</ref> arguing that the prosecution had edited and spliced the sections of the audio recording that were secretly obtained within Blanton's kitchen, reducing the entirety of the tape by 26 minutes. He said that the sections introduced as evidence were of poor audio quality, resulting in the prosecution presenting text transcripts of questionable accuracy to the jury. About the recordings made as Blanton conversed with Burns, Robbins emphasized that Burns had earlier testified that Blanton had never expressly said that he had made or planted the bomb.<ref>{{cite news |title=Jury Hears More Old Tapes in Church Bombing Trial |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=-YsvAAAAIBAJ&pg=4971,8096242 |work=[[Southeast Missourian]] |date=April 29, 2001 |access-date=May 28, 2019 |agency=[[Associated Press]] }}</ref> The defense  portrayed the audiotapes introduced into evidence as the statements of "two [[redneck]]s driving around, drinking" and making false, ego-inflating claims to one another.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://edition.cnn.com/2001/LAW/05/01/church.bombing.05/index.html |work=[[CNN]] |date=May 1, 2001 |title=Birmingham church bomber guilty, gets four life terms |access-date=May 28, 2019 }}</ref>

The trial lasted for one week. Seven witnesses testified on behalf of the prosecution, and two for the defense. One of the defense witnesses was a retired chef named Eddie Mauldin, who was called to testify to [[Discrediting tactic|discredit]] prosecution witnesses' statements that they had seen Blanton in the vicinity of the church before the bombing. Mauldin testified on April 30 that he had observed two men in a [[Rambler (automobile)|Rambler]] station wagon adorned with a Confederate flag repeatedly drive past the church immediately before the blast, and that, seconds after the bomb had exploded, the car had "burned rubber" as it drove away. (Thomas Blanton had owned a Chevrolet in 1963;<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/05/01/us/testimony-concludes-in-trial-on-birmingham-church-blast.html |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=May 1, 2001 |title=Testimony Concludes in Trial On Birmingham Church Blast |access-date=May 28, 2019 |agency=Associated Press }}</ref> neither Chambliss, Cash nor Cherry had owned such a vehicle.)

Both counsels delivered their closing arguments before the jury on May 1. In his closing argument, prosecuting attorney and future U.S. Senator [[Doug Jones (politician)|Doug Jones]] said that although the trial was conducted 38 years after the bombing, it was no less important, adding: "It's never too late for the truth to be told ... It's never too late for a man to be held accountable for his crimes." Jones reviewed Blanton's extensive history with the Ku Klux Klan, before referring to the audio recordings presented earlier in the trial. Jones repeated the most damning statements Blanton had made in these recordings, before pointing at Blanton and stating: "That is a confession out of this man's mouth."<ref>''Crimes and Trials of the Century'' {{ISBN|978-0-313-34110-6}} p. 280</ref>

Defense attorney John Robbins reminded the jury in his closing argument that his client was an admitted segregationist and a "loudmouth", but that was all that could be proven. He said this past was not the evidence upon which they should return their verdicts. Stressing that Blanton should not be judged for his beliefs, Robbins again vehemently criticized the validity and poor quality of the audio recordings presented, and the selectivity of the sections which had been introduced into evidence. Robbins also attempted to show that the testimony of FBI agent William Fleming, who had earlier testified as to a government witness claiming he had seen Blanton in the vicinity of the church shortly before the bombing, could have been mistaken.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=pm4qAAAAIBAJ&pg=3211,8452 |title=Testimony Wraps up in Bombing Trial |work=[[The Dispatch (Lexington)|The Dispatch]]|agency=Associated Press |date=May 1, 2001 |access-date=May 28, 2019 }}</ref>

The jury deliberated for two and a half hours before returning with a verdict finding Thomas Edwin Blanton guilty of four counts of first-degree murder.<ref>{{cite news |title=Former Klansman Convicted in 1963 Church Bombing |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ros1AAAAIBAJ&pg=1516,107734 |work=[[Argus-Press|The Argus-Press]] |date=May 2, 2001 |access-date=May 28, 2019 |agency=Associated Press |first=Bob |last=Johnson }}</ref> When asked by the judge whether he had anything to say before sentence was imposed, Blanton said: "I guess the Lord will settle it on [[Last Judgment|Judgment Day]]."<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1328858/Klansman-given-life-for-1963-killings.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1328858/Klansman-given-life-for-1963-killings.html |archive-date=January 12, 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title=Klansman given life for 1963 killings |first=Philip Delves |last=Broughton |date=2 May 2001 |work=[[The Daily Telegraph|The Telegraph]] |access-date=May 28, 2019 }}{{cbignore}}</ref>

His first parole hearing was held on August 3, 2016. Relatives of the slain girls, prosecutor Doug Jones, Alabama Chief Deputy Attorney General [[Alice Martin]], and Jefferson County district attorney Brandon Falls each spoke at the hearing to oppose Blanton's parole. Martin said: "The cold-blooded callousness of this hate crime has not diminished by the passage of time." The Board of Pardons and Paroles debated for less than 90 seconds before denying parole to Blanton.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.al.com/news/birmingham/2016/07/sixteenth_street_baptist_churc.html |title=Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bomber up for parole next month |first=Kent |last=Faulk |date=July 14, 2016 |work=[[The Birmingham News]] |access-date=July 16, 2016 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.al.com/news/birmingham/2016/08/alabama_board_considering_paro.html |title=16th Street Baptist Church bomber Thomas Blanton denied parole |first=Kent |last=Faulk |date=August 3, 2016 |work=[[The Birmingham News]] |access-date=August 6, 2016 }}</ref>

===Bobby Frank Cherry===
Bobby Frank Cherry was tried in Birmingham, Alabama, before Judge James Garrett, on May 6, 2002.<ref>{{cite book |title=Race, Law and Public Policy |isbn=978-1-58073-019-8 |page=426 |first=Robert Jr. |last=Johnson |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LRYDK0baMa4C&pg=PA426 |access-date=May 28, 2019 |publisher=[[Black Classic Press]] |year=1998 }}</ref> Cherry  pleaded not guilty to the charges and did not testify on his own behalf during the trial.

In his opening statement for the prosecution, Don Cochran presented his case: that the evidence would show that Cherry had participated in a conspiracy to commit the bombing and conceal evidence linking him to the crime and that he had later gloated over the deaths of the victims. Cochran also added that although the evidence to be presented would not conclusively show that Cherry had personally planted or ignited the bomb, the combined evidence would illustrate that he had [[aiding and abetting|aided and abetted]] in the commission of the act.<ref name=lastchance/>{{rp|ch. 35}}

Cherry's defense attorney, Mickey Johnson, protested his client's innocence, citing that much of the evidence presented was circumstantial. He also noted that Cherry had initially been linked to the bombing by the FBI via an informant who had claimed, fifteen months after the bombing, that she had seen Cherry place the bomb at the church shortly before the bombing. Johnson warned the jurors they would have to distinguish between evidence and proof.

Following the opening statements, the prosecution began presenting witnesses. Crucial testimony at Cherry's trial was delivered by his former wife, Willadean Brogdon, who had married Cherry in 1970. Brogdon testified on May 16 that Cherry had boasted to her that he had been the individual who planted the bomb beneath the steps to the church, then returned hours later to light the fuse to the dynamite. Brogdon also testified that Cherry had told her of his regret that children had died in the bombing, before adding his satisfaction that they would never reproduce. Although the credibility of Brogdon's testimony was called into dispute at the trial, forensic experts conceded that, although her account of the planting of the bombing differed from that which had been discussed in the previous perpetrators' trials, Brogdon's recollection of Cherry's account of the planting and subsequent lighting of the bomb could explain why no conclusive remnants of a timing device were discovered after the bombing.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/17/us/witnesses-say-ex-klansman-boasted-of-church-bombing.html |work=[[The New York Times]] |title=Witnesses Say Ex-Klansman Boasted of Church Bombing |first=Rick |last=Bragg |date=May 17, 2002 |access-date=May 28, 2019 }}</ref> (A fishing float attached to a section of wire, which may have been part of a timing device, was found {{convert|20|ft|m}} from the explosion crater<ref name="Rome News-Tribune Nov. 18, 1977"/> following the bombing.

Barbara Ann Cross also testified for the prosecution. She is the daughter of the Reverend John Cross and was aged 13 in 1963. Cross had attended the same Sunday School class as the four victims on the day of the bombing and was slightly wounded in the attack. On May 15,<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=K9wfAAAAIBAJ&pg=1567,3065168 |work=[[Nevada Daily Mail]] |date=May 15, 2002 |first=Bob |last=Johnson |title=Explosives Expert Testifies In Church Bombing Trial |access-date=May 28, 2019 |agency=Associated Press }}</ref> Cross testified that prior to the explosion, she and the four girls killed had each attended a Youth Day Sunday School lesson in which the theme taught was how to react to a physical injustice. Cross testified that each girl present had been taught to contemplate how Jesus would react to affliction or injustice, and they were asked to learn to consider, "What Would Jesus Do?"<ref name=lastchance/> Cross testified that she would usually have accompanied her friends into the basement lounge to change into robes for the forthcoming sermon, but she had been given an assignment. Shortly thereafter, she had heard "the most horrible noise", before being struck on the head by debris.

Throughout the trial, Cherry's defense attorney, Mickey Johnson, repeatedly observed that many of the prosecution's witnesses were either circumstantial or "inherently unreliable". Many of the same audiotapes presented in Blanton's trial were also introduced into evidence in the trial of Bobby Cherry. A key point contested as to the validity of the audiotapes being introduced into evidence, outside the hearing of the jury, was the fact that Cherry had no grounds to contest the introduction of the tapes into evidence, as, under the [[Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Fourth Amendment]], neither his home or property had been subject to discreet recording by the FBI. Don Cochran disputed this position, arguing that Alabama law provides for "conspiracies to conceal evidence" to be proven by both inference and circumstantial evidence.<ref name=lastchance/> In spite of a rebuttal argument by the defense, Judge Garrett ruled that some sections were too prejudicial, but also that portions of some audio recordings could be introduced as evidence. Through these rulings, Mitchell Burns was called to testify on behalf of the prosecution. His testimony was restricted to the areas of the recordings permitted into evidence.

On May 21, 2002, both prosecution and defense attorneys delivered their closing arguments to the jury. In his closing argument for the prosecution, Don Cochran said the victims' "Youth Sunday [sermon] never happened ... because it was destroyed by this defendant's hate."<ref name=washingtontimes2002>{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2002/may/22/20020522-025235-4231r/ |title=Prosecutor Says Justice 'Overdue' in '63 Bombing |access-date=May 28, 2019 |agency=Associated Press |work=[[The Washington Times]] |date=May 22, 2002}}</ref> Cochran outlined Cherry's extensive record of racial violence dating back to the 1950s, and noted that he had experience and training in constructing and installing bombs from his service as a Marine demolition expert. Cochran also reminded the jury of a secretly obtained FBI recording, which had earlier been introduced into evidence, in which Cherry had told his first wife, Jean, that he and other Klansmen had constructed the bomb within the premises of business the Friday before the bombing. He said that Cherry had signed an [[affidavit]] in the presence of the FBI on October 9, 1963, confirming that he, Chambliss, and Blanton were at these premises on this date.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/22/us/more-than-just-a-racist-now-the-jury-must-decide.html |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=May 22, 2002 |access-date=May 28, 2019 |first=Rick |last=Bragg |title=More Than Just a Racist? Now the Jury Must Decide }}</ref>

In the closing argument for the defense, attorney Mickey Johnson argued that Cherry had nothing to do with the bombing, and reminded the jurors that his client was not on trial for his beliefs, stating: "It seems like more time has been spent here throwing around the [[nigger|n-word]] than proving what happened in September 1963."<ref name=washingtontimes2002/> Johnson stated that there was no [[Smoking gun|hard evidence]] linking Cherry to the bombing, but only evidence attesting to his racist beliefs dating from that era, adding that the family members who had testified against him were all estranged and therefore should be considered unreliable witnesses. Johnson urged the jury against convicting his client by [[Association fallacy|association]].

Following these closing arguments, the jury retired to consider their verdicts. These deliberations continued until the following day.

On the afternoon of May 22, after the jury had deliberated for almost seven hours, the forewoman announced they had reached their verdicts: Bobby Frank Cherry was convicted of four counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.<ref name="CherryObitNYT">{{cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/19/us/bobby-frank-cherry-74-klansman-in-bombing-dies.html | title=Bobby Frank Cherry, 74, Klansman in Bombing, Dies | work=[[The New York Times]] |date= November 19, 2004 | first=Michelle | last=O'Donnell | access-date = February 5, 2009}}</ref> Cherry remained stoic as the sentence was read aloud.

When asked by the judge whether he had anything to say before sentence was imposed, Cherry motioned to the prosecutors and stated: "This whole bunch lied through this thing [the trial]. I told the truth. I don't know why I'm going to jail for nothing. I haven't done anything!"<ref name="Al.com May 23, 2002"/>

Bobby Frank Cherry died of cancer on November 18, 2004, at age 74, while incarcerated at the [[Kilby Correctional Facility]].<ref name="CherryObitNYT" />

Following the convictions of Blanton and Cherry, Alabama's former Attorney General, William Baxley, expressed his frustration that he had never been informed of the existence of the FBI audio recordings before they were introduced in the 2001 and 2002 trials. Baxley acknowledged that typical juries in 1960s Alabama would have likely leaned in favor of both defendants, even if these recordings had been presented as evidence,<ref>{{cite news |url=http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2001-05-07/news/0105070214_1_blanton-justice-denied-birmingham |work=[[The Baltimore Sun]] |date=May 7, 2001 |archive-date=March 27, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160327232736/http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2001-05-07/news/0105070214_1_blanton-justice-denied-birmingham |title=Delayed, not Denied |access-date=May 28, 2019 }}</ref> but said that he could have prosecuted Thomas Blanton and Bobby Cherry in 1977 if he had been granted access to these tapes.

Edgar Hoover had blocked the prosecution of the four bombing suspects in 1965,<ref name="Times Daily May 23, 2002"/> and he officially closed the FBI's investigation in 1968.<ref name="wsws.org May 5, 2001"/>)
