Reposted from @allblackeverything101 NEVER FORGET!!! #GeorgeJuniusStinneyJr. was the youngest person to be sentenced to death in the United States in the 20th century. He was executed at the age of 14 by electric chair. George was wrongfully accused of the murder of 11-year-old Betty June Binnicker and 7-year-old Mary Emma Thames in 1944 in Alcolu, South Carolina. The girls had been beaten with a weapon, often reported as a railroad spike. Both girls' skulls were punctured. Police arrested George Stinney and said he had confessed to the crime although there was no written record of his confession besides notes provided by an investigating deputy. No transcript was recorded during his trial. George Stinney was convicted of first-degree murder in less than 10 minutes and sentenced to death by electric chair by Judge Philip H. Stoll during a one-day trial. Stinney's court-appointed defense counsel Charles Plowden did not challenge the 3 police officers testifying that George Stinney had confessed to the 2 murders although it was the only evidence they had. Before the execution, George spent 81 days without being able to see his parents. At the time of his execution, Stinney was sat on a Bible in order to properly fit in the chair but the state’s adult-sized face-mask did not fit him. The mask slipped off his face after hitting him with the first 2,400 volt electricity jolt, he was then hit with two more jolts of electricity and declared dead within four minutes of the initial electrocution. A re-examination of the GeorgeStinney case began in 2004 and on December 17, 2014, George Stinney was exonerated 70 years after his execution.⁣ • Writer: @itskemalffs⁣ Media: @mariaberni_⁣ #exonerated #politics #news #AmericanHistory #USHistory #ThisIsAmerica #usa #blacklivesmatter#georgestinney #thisisamerikkka #executed #blackhistory #panafricanism #blackunity #blackhistoryfacts #blackhistory #LegalLynching #LegalVSMoral (at United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLQIYPfhQqt/?igshid=139z5fdhrzu66

PLEASE LOOK UP THIS STORY part 3 - 14 year old "GEORGE JUNIUS STINNEY JR." was the youngest person Executed in America's History 1944 in the Jim Crow era of the South, Green Hill was known as "the black church", while Clarendon Baptist Church across the railway tracks was "the white church". From the Green Hill church it is a few minutes' walk, across a ploughed field littered with corn husks, to the shallow ditch in the woods where the bodies of two white girls, Betty June Binnicker, 11, and Mary Emma Thames, seven, were found, side by side, 70 years ago. Their murders stunned the townspeople, many of whom had taken part in a search for them the day before. The girls had been gathering flowers when they were followed, attacked and beaten so severely their skulls were fractured. The bodies of the girls, both white, were found on the black side of town. Suspicion quickly fell on a 14-year-old black boy named George Stinney Jr who, it emerged, had seen the girls the previous day. What happened next has cast a long shadow over the town, the state of South Carolina and the Stinney family. Police said that Stinney confessed to the crimes and, although there was no physical evidence, he was charged with capital murder, tried, convicted and executed by the state – all in the space of 83 days. He was the youngest person to be executed by the United States in the 20th century. #georgejuniusstinneyJR #WAKEUP #LionzKingsView #LionzKingsView2 #AnotherHashTag #ICantBreathe #WeareFergusonLA #Ferguson #FergusonLA #FergusonNY #BlackPride #BlackUNITY #BlackHistory #BlackBusiness #Tributaree #BlackSocialMedia #BlackOwned #ResearchEverything #ActingBlack #LeadBYExample
