Opening statements are heard in the case of James Ford Seale, who has pleaded not guilty to federal kidnapping and conspiracy charges in connection with the 1964 murders of two black


teenagers, Henry Hezekiah Dee and Charles Eddie Moore. The two 19-year-olds went missing as they hitchhiked in rural Mississippi. Dressed in a cream shirt and trousers, a frail-looking Seale


mostly stared straight ahead and showed no emotion in the courtroom. He has looked over at the jury of four blacks and eight whites from time to time. The panel is not sequestered for the


trial. Watching the first several witnesses testify at the trial in Jackson, Miss., underscored why it's hard to bring cold cases to trial. One retired FBI agent had difficulty


recalling the investigation and read from his notes at the time. And a former game warden had such a tough time hearing that the prosecutor asked if he wanted a hearing aid. The trial is


expected to take two weeks. Copyright 2023 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.
