Two of the three men convicted of killing the civil rights activist Malcolm X are expected to have their convictions thrown out Thursday.

 

The men — Muhammad A. Aziz and Khalil Islam — always maintained their innocence in the 1965 assassination of Malcolm X, who rose to become one of the most prominent leaders of the civil rights movement.

 

Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance and lawyers representing the two men first told The New York Times that they expected the names of Aziz and Islam to be cleared Thursday.
