Because 3 people were murdered, not 1 and it is 3 different convictions his lawyers have to fight on appeal, which makes any sort of suucess much more difficult. Plus as the judge said, there was no legal basis for an 80 year old murder convict to get any different sentence than a 20 year old one would.
Mr. Killen was still the winner. He got to live a long and free life in Neshoba County Mississippi.
