A white Mississippi man has been sentenced to life in prison for the
2011 murder of an African-American man, with the judge calling it an
inexcusable, "despicable" crime. Deryl Dedmon pleaded
guilty to murder and a hate-crime charge before a judge in Jackson on
Wednesday afternoon, admitting to the June killing of James Craig
Anderson. Hinds County Circuit Judge Jeff Weill sentenced him to two
concurrent life terms, saying, "This craven act isn't who we are."
