In Feb 2007 Alberto R. Gonzales, the Attorney General under President George W. Bush declared that the window of opportunity to solve racially motivated crimes more than 40 years old was closing. But families of the victims are still waiting for the last three years for solid action after waiting for decades for resolution, while suspects and witnesses have died.
President Obama’s Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. has promoted his department’s handling of these cases pointing out that 56 of 109 cases have been closed many of which had seen the closure because the suspect is dead. A partly natural disposal!
We are not short of such success stories in India too. Take for instance the riot cases in Delhi as the aftermath of Indira Gandhi’s assassination.
