The suspect in the 1989 bombing deaths of a federal judge in Alabama and a Georgia civil rights lawyer could be sentenced to 69 years in prison on a conviction linked to a 1972 bomb possession case. A federal jury in Brunswick, Ga., found Walter Leroy Moody Jr. guilty on 13 counts of bribery, obstruction of justice and witness tampering in an attempt to have his 1972 federal bomb possession conviction overturned. Moody is a suspect in the bombing deaths last December of Alabama federal Judge Robert S. Vance and Savannah, Ga., civil rights lawyer and Alderman Robert Robinson. They were killed by pipe bombs mailed to them.
