I do find it odd to fry a child that is only 14.

But I hate how people are automatically applying the race card here because of the race of the people involved. They act like it is physically impossible for any black person to commite a crime against a white person 70 years ago.
There was a lynching known as the Waco Horror in which the guy actually did it. The story became famous because of how he was lynched (stabbed, burned, castrated, strung up).

You don't think that "confession" was in any way coerced illegally?
Happened almost 40 years before I was alive, but I can reason and deduce the factors involved and I'd have a real hard time believing he committed the crime. I don't think he's got a killer's eyes in that mugshot. Feel free to pull a 100 mugshots of known murderers and look into their eyes, they've got something that kid doesn't appear to have.
who knows, maybe he did it and deserved to fry, my betting dollar is that he got railroaded.

My 12th grade Econ/Gov teacher had a discussion about this. Was shocked but not really...some fricked up shite went on back in the day.

I read that Stinney was too small for The Chair and had to sit on a phone book in order to get electrocuted.
People get coerced all the time into making false confessions and as racist as this country was (and still is) I have no doubt the boy was innocent.

Look, I know you are trying to save face and prove that not all white people back then were racist and blah blah blah, but the fact is, this country was incredibly fricked up back then. In a time where men used to go around burning down houses and lynching people just because it was fricking Tuesday, its not that hard to believe that they purposely falesly charged this young kid and killed him.
But fine I will play along with you, if this kid truly killed those little girls, then he was a fricked up lil boy. But thankfully justice was served, and there is nothing else too it

I was wondering what you were talking about and saw the ad.
I was scanning the article looking for Murray & Holt.

Holy shite why did I just look that up?
What. The. frick. was wrong with people back then? I can't imagine something so horrible. I mean...I get that people were racist. But I couldn't be a part of a mob and watch/participate in something like that. How does something like that not haunt you?

Ok, I have only read the OP (although I am familiar with the story). How many posters here have come to justify this travesty of an execution?

Really? You dont think there was virulent racism throughout the south back then? Remind me when the US government had to send federal troops in to force public institutions to allow black students into their doors.

I'm not sure you realize how easy it is for 'confessions' to be coerced, especially in the Jim Crow south. Didn't you go to law school? Jesus christ.

There are people TODAY who confess to crimes they didn't commit during police questioning because of the incredible stress they are put under. Who knows what they told this kid or did to him to get this confession out of him. Maybe they told him if he confessed he would do a little time and go home. Who knows.
Either way you slice it, executing a 14 year old is not necessary.
