The execution of George Stinney, 1944. George Junius Stinney Jr. is the youngest man executed in the United States in the 20th century. At the time of execution he was 14 years old and 7 months old. He was convicted of killing two girls. The sentence was canceled in 2014, 70 years after the execution. Stinney was executed in South Carolina in a prison in Columbia, June 16, 1944, at 7:30 in an electric chair. Stinney was too short (about 155 cm) to sit on a chair, and on the seat he had to put a bible, which he was allowed to take with him to the cell at the time of the trial. 🔹Казнь Джорджа Стинни, 1944 год.

Приговор был отменён в 2014 году, через 70 лет после казни. Казнь Стинни осуществлена в Южной Каролине в тюрьме в Колумбии, 16 июня 1944 года, в 7:30 на электрическом стуле. Стинни был слишком мал ростом (около 155 см) для того, чтобы сесть на стул, и на сиденье ему пришлось подложить библию, которую ему было разрешено взять с собой в камеру и на время проведения судебного разбирательства.🔹 #execution #GeorgeStinney #George #Stinney #bible #UnitedStates #usa https://www.instagram.com/p/B3qZa2SIZ6i/?igshid=12y4lq0qs7wfr

from @blackwall.st - On June 16, 1944 #GeorgeStinney 14-years-old at the time of his execution in 1944. 70 years ago, in the small town of #Alcolu, South Carolina, the young boy was killed via means of electrocution( the youngest in this century to be executed ) Stinney was so small that he had to sit on a stack of books in order to fit on the electric chair. According to NBC, Judge Carmen Mullins threw out the murder conviction, exonerating him of the crime. The African American teen was (wrongfully)convicted of the murder of two young white girls. Allegedly, he had beaten 11-year-old Betty June Binnicker and 8-year-old Mary Emma Thames to death. Back in day, the white and black neighborhoods of Alcolu were divided by railroad tracks. The girls were last seen riding their bicycles on a search for flowers. Upon passing the Stinney property, the girls asked George and his sister Katherine if they knew where to find “maypops,” a type of local flower. Several hours later, when they didn’t return home, they were announced missing, prompting the police and hundreds of locals to organize a search party. The two girls were found dead the following morning in a ditch, with severe head wounds caused by being hit repeatedly with a railroad spike. George Stinney was taken into custody the following day, where he would await an 81-day confinement period. The trial itself was all of one day. Since the Supreme Court didn’t guarantee the right to counsel yet (it was passed in 1963), Stinney was questioned in a room by himself, without his parents or an attorney present. His father fled town after being fired from his job and was forced to abandon his son and family under the threat of being lynched. The only evidence, or a lack thereof, against the young boy was from the three police officers who testified that he did indeed admit to the killings. There was no physical or DNA evidence pointing to Stinney, who received a guilty verdict after the speedy two-hour trial, with no witnesses. At 7:30 p.m. on June 16, 1944 Stinney was executed. He held a Bible under his arm when walking into the execution. #BlackPeopleYouShouldKnow #ThisWeekInBlackHistory #blackhistorymatters # https://www.instagram.com/p/By7NOOvAk6cMLmC9Nyg-B7O6t2MDvXFMkB4PGk0/?igshid=qr1n427ibyai

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

They used a Bible as the booster seat😭😭😭😭😭 Repost from @witchdoctorpoet • This young black child died 76 years ago on this day - June 16th. He was wrongfully accused of killing two whites girls. The proceeding took one day and the his trial had an all white jury that took less then 10 minutes to deliberate and give Stinney a guilty verdict. He was so small, that they had to use a BIBLE as a booster seat in order for him to fit on the electric chair. Can you imagine the fear he felt? “Stinney was declared dead after eight minutes. His teeth were smoking and he had one eye missing”. @africanarchives #georgestinney #rip https://www.instagram.com/p/CBgr1jSBm5x/?igshid=19x2oxjyffngd

Still fights the same injustices. On this date in 1944, George Junius Stinney Jr. became the youngest person in the great U.S.A. executed. George Stinney was a 14 year old black boy convicted of murder as a result of a racially-biased and discriminatory trial in 1944 in his home town of Alcolu, South Carolina. He was so small, he had to be sat on his own bible so that the head mount could reach his head. #maga #georgestinney #thingstheydontteachyou #makebeingblackinamericalegal #blackhidstory #neverforget #treasureourown #americatheugly #themorethingschange https://www.instagram.com/p/CBggKhaj5WV/?igshid=1c924ugjovvo3

George Stinney Jr. was unfairly convicted and executed at age 14 of the murder of two white girls ages 7 and 11 in 1944 in his hometown of Alcolu, South Carolina. He was executed by electric chair in June of that year, still only 14. He is the youngest American to be sentenced to death and executed. Stinney was put on trial and then executed within three months of the killings. His trial lasted three hours, and a jury of 12 white men took 10 minutes to find him guilty. His conviction was overturned in 2014 when a court ruled that he had not received a fair trial. Judge Mullen vacated Stinney’s conviction some 70 years after his death. Her rationale (set out in detail in her ruling) was that Stinney’s constitutional right to due process had been violated on multiple grounds: his confession was likely coerced; his lawyer did woefully little to defend him, especially by failing to call witnesses on his behalf or to appeal his conviction; the selection of the jury did not mitigate against the possibility of racial prejudice playing a role in the verdict; and the execution of a 14-year-old child in and of itself constituted “cruel and unusual punishment.” #georgestinney #blackhistory #unfair #execution #death #deathpenalty #racism #southcarolina #thisisamerica #blackboyjoy #blackgirlmagic https://www.instagram.com/p/B12zwkwgSvj/?igshid=funn63yrgbm7
