A 29-year-old veteran in Alabama pled guilty Thursday to hiring what he believed was a Ku Klux Klan member to kill his neighbor. Allen Wayne Densen Morgan allegedly began his murder plot after suspecting that his neighnor Clifford Maurice Mosley, who had a previous record of sexual abuse, had raped his wife. "I want this man hung from a tree like he is an animal. I want his d--k cut off and I want him cut," Morgan told Cornelius Harris Jr., an undercover FBI Special Agent. Morgan was arrested on August 25 when two undercover agents, posing as the KKK members, met him at a motel to finalize the deal. He will be sentenced in February of 2014.
