...afternoon, when the perpetrators of the fires appeared in court for sentencing, they were dressed in orange jumpsuits and they claimed to have no racist or devilish designs on the good churchfolk of the state. Matthew Lee Cloyd, 21, Benjamin Moseley, 20 and Russell DeBusk, 20, all white, were drunk and out to use their car headlights to stun and then shoot deer.
