So ask me now if I support the introduction of the death penalty - I will answer what FOR! There is a lot of chaos going on around.
But they will definitely give me an example like this or something similar …
In 1944, fourteen-year-old George Stinney became the youngest suicide bomber to be executed in the 20th century in the United States. The court found him guilty of the murder of two white girls, Betty, 11, and Mary, 7. Their bodies were found near the house of Stinney and his parents. The jury was all white, and the trial lasted only 2 hours. The jury took 10 minutes to pronounce the verdict. During the trial and until the execution, he did not let go of the Bible, and swore that he was innocent.
The defendant's parents were constantly threatened. They were not allowed to carry parcels to the prison, were forbidden to transmit anything in the courtroom, and then were actually kicked out of the city. While awaiting execution, the boy spent 81 days in solitary confinement without seeing his parents. George Stinney Jr. was electrocuted. Since George was too small for the electric chair, the straps on his hands had to be tied, rather than fastened, and in order for the child to sit at the right height, the very Bible that he brought with him was placed on the seat.
George's story inspired Stephen King and he wrote The Green Mile, which was later filmed in 1999.
70 years later, in 2014, the court found the teenager innocent. Sister George got the case reviewed. The murder weapon was a scrap, weighed more than 19.07 kg. The boy could not pick him up and hit him with a force capable of killing two girls.
