It became news because one of the people he assaulted during the civil rights era is now a Congressman, and he went to D.C. to make a grand, public apology.

And here I have to also insert that I think it's wrong for the Congressman to turn him into a "show n' tell" project, but I'll probably get asked a couple dozen times to explain that as well.

There is a HUGE difference between the Holy Ghost and a ghost.

Doesn't the Bible also say something about "judge not, lest ye also be judged?"

Whatever happens in this man's "afterlife" will never be up to us. Seems many in this thread are getting worked up over something we have no control over.
The man was horrible. He did awful, awful things to innocent people. It's heartbreaking. If he has chosen to ask forgiveness, that's up to him. If they choose to accept his apology, that's up to them.

But it's so not up to us.
