Bobby Frank Cherry - Bio, News, Photos

$FILE - In this May 6, 2002 file photo, defendant Bobby Frank Cherry exits the rear door of the Jefferson County Criminal Justice Center during a lunch break in his trial. Convicted of murder in the deadliest attack of the civil rights era, the old Ku Klux Klansman didn’t hesitate when the judge asked if he had anything to say before going to prison for a church bombing which killed four black girls in 1963. On cue, Bobby Frank Cherry pointed at a prosecution table that included Doug Jones. Fifteen years after Cherry snarled at Jones across a courtroom, the bombing is echoing in Alabama’s fractious Senate race. (AP Photo/Dave Martin, File)$
