The Travesty of the George Stinney Jr. Court Case:
On June 16, 1944, George Stinney Jr. became the youngest person put to death in the history of 20th Century Amerikkka:
It's hard to find any info about the Stinney case. Alot of the info presented is very against any argument that George Stinney may have been innocent because he was railroaded by the Jim Crow practices of the Amerikkkan South. For example, his white court appointed lawyer 'failed' to tell Stinney and his family that he could have filed for an appeal to delay the execution for at least one year to gather support, evidence and monies in order to defend his life in a proper way…By his lawyer failing and/or refusing to tell him of his rights his human and civil rights were violated…The only advice the family did receive was to leave town before their relative was put to death in order to avoid any mob revenge. His trial lasted a total of 3 hours from opening statement to jury verdict and he was dead less than two months later. This trial basically went undetected by both national and world news because the world was at war and the Allied Forces just invaded Normandy on June 6, 1944 ...The fact or assumption that this was just another dead Black Nigger accused of killing two defenseless beautiful and innocent White daughters of the Amerikkkan South didn't help matters either.

A reliable source, who lived in Alcolu in 1944, gave me info on George Stinney which leads me to believe he may have been innocent. I am researching further. If anyone has any info that would help me, please contact me at jwalker_39@yahoo.com.

I don't think there has ever been any doubt that Mr. Stinney was innocent. I have lived in SC my entire life and this story still makes me sick. Physically ill.
