The trial of Raymond "Chuck" Foster had screeched to a halt Wednesday about 11 a.m. in Covington during the testimony of Frank Stafford, the first witness.

Around noon, Foster admitted to murdering Cynthia Lynch, 43, on Nov. 9, 2008, the day after she had been initiated into the Bogalusa Sons of Dixie Knights.

According to attorneys, Foster saw Lynch's mother, Virginia, crying during Stafford's testimony and felt remorse and wanted to admit what he had done.

Foster, 45, also believed showing his sorrow and admitting culpability might "save his soul," attorneys said, adding that the Ku Klux Klan does have its own skewed kind of religious order.
