Judge Tags Death by Electric Chair of Black Teen from South Carolina in 1944 as Wrongful Execution

Seventy years after he was wrongfully sentenced to death for the murder of two white girls in South Carolina, George Stinney was finally exonorated.

For decades, Stinney's family members, as well as family members of the victims tried to appeal the conviction. The trial, as historians say, was unfair and authorities were only using Stinney as a scapegoat. Decades after his death, Stinney's name has finally officially been cleared.
