Jury convicts MLK confidant of incest
LEESBURG, Va. (AP) - April 10, 2008 The Rev. James L. Bevel was a top lieutenant to Martin Luther
King Jr. He also is credited with helping conceive and organize the
Million Man March.
Bevel faces up to 20 years in prison when he is sentenced.
The four-day trial included bizarre testimony about Bevel's
philosophies for eradicating lust, and parents' duty to "sexually
orient" their children.
