Medgar Evers' killer, Byron De La Beckwith, was not convicted until 1994 due to a combination of factors, including racial tensions, a lack of evidence, and the prevailing climate of white supremacy in the South during the 1960s. Initial trials in 1964 ended in deadlocked juries, reflecting the community's reluctance to convict a white man for killing a prominent Black civil rights leader. It wasn't until new evidence and the changing social context in the 1990s that led to a successful prosecution. The case highlighted the deep-rooted issues of racism and injustice in the American legal system.
