After seven decades, a black 14-year-old boy has been cleared of murder.
In 1944, George Stinney was convicted of murdering two white girls in Alcolu, South Carolina. He was executed via the electric chair after his white lawyer called no witnesses and performed no cross-examinations.

I think the article fails to directly convey the fact that this BOY was not only convicted, but also EXECUTED at the age of 14. FOURTEEN. That's incredible.
