@crimexpod: In 1944, the U.S. justice system sentenced a 14-year-old boy to death. George Stinney Jr., just a child and weighing roughly 95 pounds, was convicted of murdering two young girls in South Carolina. His trial was completed in a matter of hours, with the jury reportedly reaching a verdict after only about 10 minutes. George was executed while still a minor. For decades, his family continued to challenge the conviction and seek justice. Then, 70 years later, in 2014, a South Carolina judge overturned his conviction, ruling that George had been denied basic due process and that his trial had been fundamentally unfair. The case remains one of the most haunting examples of what can happen when the justice system fails—and when that failure involves a child. Justice delayed for seven decades was finally acknowledged. #GeorgeStinneyJr #GeorgeStinney #TrueCrime #WrongfulConviction #CriminalJustice Source: @unpainted.stories
