George Stinney was arrested, convicted of murder in a one-day trial and executed in 1944 - all in the span of about three months and without an appeal. The speed in which the state meted out justice against the youngest person executed in the United States in the 20th century was shocking and extremely unfair, Circuit Judge Carmen Mullen wrote in her ruling Wednesday.
"I can think of no greater injustice," Mullen wrote.
The girls, ages 7 and 11, were beaten badly in the head with an iron railroad spike in the town of Alcolu in Clarendon County, about 45 miles southeast of Columbia, authorities said. A search by dozens of people found their bodies several hours later.

The overturn of the case is noted but no where did it say he was innocent or that his confession was illegally obtained. Just wonder how many innocent whites were ever executed? And when all is said and done, this was only one judge's opinion of this case.
ReplyDeleteYour as bad as the jury of the time. The article is about the due process which black white yellow etc is entitled. Not to mention he was a child held from his parents and " interrogated " until a confession was given.

You are nothing more than a Soft Hearted Liberal. They were murderous thug criminals back then just like they are today. I can't stand you F8n Obama Loving, Cop hating morons.
1049 and 1112 aren't the brightest bulbs in the box. Whats funny is they probably carry around a pocket constitution, pocket bible, and rocks us flag tee shirts on the daily, yet don't seem to have a clue about what all three stand for based off their comments
ReplyDeleteHow true the system is not perfect. In a perfect world no one innocent goes to jail. Funny thing in Africa and Haiti black children are being raped and murdered by the hundreds. The so called African Americans in this country do or say nothing.
ReplyDeleteIt is Whites that have spoken on the human rights of these children. I guess African Americans are to busy being entitled here in America where they have it so bad.
I for one am sick and really tired of the race card. It is being used as a diversion by the Ohbama camp. "O" wants a race war then his Muslim Brotherhood wins without firing a shot.
"I for one am sick and really tired of the race card" while you are play the race card in your comment.
ReplyDeletehypocrites!!!!!
If wanting white tyranny to end means having a race war, then yes many are onboard.
ReplyDeleteNote however its not blacks forcing the inevitable, its the tyrannical whites.
If you think a people are going to forever stand by while those in power murder them with no repercussions you are mistaken.
They are killed everyday, when they start shooting back the only thing that will change are that cops families will join them in the grief. And that's absolutely justified.
If the situation were reversed we'd already have been killing the black LEOs.
We are one nation, not one people, and blacks absolutely should be loyal to blacks , especially under the current circumstances.
