Today in history we acknowledge the story of 14-ye

Today in history we acknowledge the story of 14-year-old George Stinney Jr. the youngest person executed in the U.S. in the 20th century. George was arrested and charged with the murders of two young white girls. He was subjected to hours of interrogation without his parents or an attorney. The sheriff later claimed that George confessed to the murders without written or signed statements.
On April 24, 1944, George Stinney faced a sham trial alone. His court-appointed attorney, a tax lawyer, failed to call a single witness. The only evidence presented was the testimony of the sheriff, who further pushed George’s alleged confession as the only evidence of guilt. An all-white jury deliberated for 10 minutes before convicting George Stinney of rape and murder, and the judge promptly sentenced the 14-year-old to death.
On June 16, 1944, the young boy was executed in the electric chair in Columbia, South Carolina.
