News Alert: Two men convicted of killing Malcolm X exonerated
Two men convicted of the 1965 assassination of Malcolm X have been exonerated during a court hearing Thursday, after more than half a century. A 22-month investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance's Office and lawyers for the men -- Muhammad A. Aziz and the late Khalil Islam -- found that evidence of their innocence, including FBI documents, was withheld at trial. The men were known at the time of the killing of the civil rights activist as Norman 3X Butler (Aziz) and Thomas 15X Johnson (Islam).
