Byron De La Beckwith, shown in 1994 with his wife, Thelma, in Batesville, Miss. Beckwith was convicted Feb. 4, 1994, for the 1963 sniper shooting death of Medgar Evers. Prosecutors tried Beckwith a third time 30 years after two all-white juries deadlocked in 1964. Beckwith's attorney argued his client's constitutional rights to a speedy trial and due process had been denied.
