On June 16th 1944 a young boy was put to death for a crime that, depending on what side you land on, was either a gross miscarriage of justice or a biased trial of a guilty individual. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stinney, https://exhibits.stanford.edu/saytheirnames/feature/george-stinney, https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/12/18/the-rush-job-conviction-of-14-year-old-george-stinney-exonerated-70-years-after-execution/, https://www.theguardian.com/theobserver/2014/mar/22/george-stinney-execution-verdict-innocent, https://allthatsinteresting.com/george-stinney-jr, https://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/18/us/judge-vacates-conviction-in-1944-execution.html Learn more about your ad choices.
