The church, which was a key civil rights meeting place, had been a frequent target of bomb threats. In the ’60s, no federal charges were filed. Suspect Robert E. Chambliss then received life in prison in 1977 following a case led by Alabama Attorney General Robert Baxley. Two other suspects — Bobby Frank Cherry and Thomas E. Blanton, Jr. — were indicted in 2000, and convicted and sentenced to life in prison. A fourth suspect died before he could be arrested or charged.
