I am sure some did, but I doubt it was a majority.
You doubt that the majority of black people under Jim Crow got a raw deal, when Jim Crow was a system implemented specifically to ensure such raw deals were a fact of life?
Wow.

People need to realize that this happened in the extremely rural town of Alcolu SC, a mill town where blacks lived on one side of the town and whites on the other. People were paid in mill money and shopped at the company store. Going to the big town probably meant nearby Manning SC. Throw in 1944 Jim Crow society to the mix.
A one day show trial with a 10 minute deliberation resulting in a death sentence for a 14 yr old black boy seems extremely plausible.
