George Stinney is the oldest African American boy. He was unjustly convicted at the age of fourteen for murdering two young girls. The girls were named after 11-year-old Betty June Binnicker and seven-year-old Mary Emma Thames. The incident happened in George Stinney's hometown of Alcolu, North Carolina.
While George Stinney was alive, he lived with his parents in Alcolu, North Carolina. She is blessed with four siblings. George Stinney did not come from a wealthy family, and they were black Americans.
On March 23, 1944, the bodies of Betty June and Emma Thames were found in a ditch as they had not returned home from the previous night. The girls were found on the African American side of Alcolu where Stinney's father also helped them find two girls.
According to people, the girls were last seen riding a bicycle looking for flowers. When the girls were found, they were struck with metal-like weapons found near them.
George Stinney and his older brother John were arrested as the main suspect in the murder. Some days later, George Stinney's older brother John was released and was still under house arrest. No one in his family was allowed to see him until the day of his trial. George Stinney also claimed that the police in charge of his arrest starved him and gave him food to confess.
Prior to the girls' deaths, George had been involved in school battles, including one in which he stabbed a girl with a knife.
As a result of George Stinney's case, his father was fired from his job and his family had to move out of the company house. Since no one in her family was allowed to visit her, she had no support.
He was detained in Columbia, about 30 miles [50 km] from his parents' home. Stinney was interrogated in private and all confessions made by the police in charge of his case were recorded. Stinney was detained for eighty-one days without seeing his fans.
On the day of his trial, more than a thousand white people went to court. His trial lasted less than ten minutes and George Stinney was sentenced to death by firing squad.
George Stinney's family and churches have appealed to Emperor Johnston to pardon him because of his young age and some demand that the execution begin.
Stinney was assassinated at 7:30 pm on June 16, 1944. She was placed in an electric chair, and the Bible was used to propel the chair because Stinney was too young for the chair. Only his father was allowed to go to speak his last words to his son. George was also asked to name his last job but only shook his head. George was really crying and gave up. George Stinney was buried in Crowley.
In 2004, George Frierson, who grew up in Alcolu, investigated the case. Later, George Stinney was found not guilty of murder. It was reported that George could not carry the iron used to kill the girls. This was completed later after seventy years.
The story of George Stinney is still one of the saddest stories in history. I cry now because it hurts so much. I hope George Stinney's soul rests in peace. I will never forget the story.
Now let me ask some questions:
Why was he immediately charged without proper investigation?
Why were his family members not allowed to see him during his imprisonment?
Why did he starve and give him food to eat as a bribe?
Why were there no recorded confession notes ??
This is pure evil. I'm sad. I hope you find peace after death.
