*WE REMEMBER June 16,1944*

George Stinney Jr. was the youngest person to be sentenced to death in the 20th century in the United States.
He was only 14 years old when he was executed in an electric chair.
During his trial, even on the day of his execution, he always carried a bible in his hands, claiming to be innocent.
He was accused of killing two white girls, 11-Year-old Betty, and Mary of 7, the bodies were found near the house where the teenager resided with his parents.
At that time, all members of the jury were white. The trial lasted only 2 hours, and the sentence was dictated 10 minutes later.
The Boy's parents were threatened, and prevented from being present in the courtroom, and subsequently expelled from that city.
Before the execution, George spent 81 days in prison without being able to see his parents.
He was held in solitary, 80 miles from his city. He was alone without the presence of his parents or a lawyer.
He was electrocuted with 5,380 volts in his head, imagine all that voltage in a teen.
Years later it was established he was innocent. Murderer was a white man, who did it to get at their parents.
They used judiciary to murder the little boy.

Wicked world. Even if he really did murder then, this punishment is very bad. This kinds of cases happen everyday in our courtrooms; people using judicial power to intimidate others.

Awwwwwww too bad, Unhappy Ending
