FBI: No Federal Charges in Till Killing - Yahoo! News

FBI: No Federal Charges in Till Killing - Yahoo! News: "JACKSON, Miss. - The
FBI said Thursday that no federal charges will be filed in the grisly 1955 killing of 14-year-old Emmett Till, a case that helped galvanize the civil rights movement.

After a reopened investigation that included the exhumation of Till's body for an autopsy last June, FBI agent John G. Raucci said in a statement that the five-year statute of limitations on federal civil rights violations had expired."
