Michael asks the two FBI men twice about "looking for" the killer of Medgar Evers, a popular civil rights activist who was assassinated in 1963. This makes it seem as if the killer was completely unknown. However, it was generally known that white supremacist Byron De La Beckwith was the killer, but he walked away from punishment twice, with two mistrials in 1964. Finally, in 1994, he was convicted in a new trial and eventually died in prison.
