A case that reopened old wounds in a racially tense Mississippi city has new developments almost a year later.

Three Jackson teens are expected to plead guilty to hate crimes, for the murder of 49-year-old James C. Anderson June 26, 2011.

According to law enforcement officials, Anderson died after he was beaten and run over by a truck driven by 19-year-old Deryl Dedmon. The teen was part of a group white youths, including John Aaron Rice and Dylan Butler, “who decided to ‘go f**k with some n*ggers’ after a night of partying and drinking,” CNN reports.
