(U.S.) Louisiana: Accessory in Ku Klux Klan killing admits guilt, gets one-year sentence
— Danielle Jones – in murder of Ku Klux Klan recruit Cynthia Lynch
— “A member of a Bogalusa Ku Klux Klan group was sentenced Thursday to a year in prison after she pleaded guilty to being an accessory in the killing of an Oklahoma woman who reportedly tried to back out of a KKK initiation last year in St. Tammany Parish.”
— “Almost timid, Danielle Jones, 24, quietly admitted giving authorities false information immediately after the murder of Klan recruit Cynthia Lynch, 43, who was shot to death Nov. 9 in a remote part of northeastern St. Tammany. Jones later acknowledged witnessing the shooting, according to the factual basis she admitted to during her plea at the parish courthouse in Covington.”
— “In November, seven alleged Sons of Dixie members, all from the Bogalusa area, were booked on obstruction of justice charges, but the grand jury only indicted Shane Foster, 21, and Frank Stafford, 21, on those charges. The panel indicted Jones on the lesser accessory after the fact charge, and dropped all charges against the four others who had been arrested on obstruction charges.”
