Sad, this is a story of how a young black boy named George Stinney Jr. was sentenced to death by electric chair in the 20th century in the United States. SleekGist Reports.
14 years George, during his trial, until the day of his execution, was always carried a bible in his hands, claiming for innocence.

He was accused of killing two white girls, Betty of 11 years old and Mary of 7, the bodies were found near the house where the teenager resided with his parents.

At that time all the jurors were white. The trial lasted only 2 hours and the sentence was handed down 10 minutes later.

The child's parents were threatened and prevented from giving him gifts in the courtroom and then expelling them from that city.

Before the execution, George spent 81 days without being able to see his parents.

He was trapped in a solitary cell, 80 km from his city. He was heard alone without the presence of his parents or a lawyer.

He was electrocuted with 5,380 volts in the head.

70 years later, his innocence was finally proven by a judge in South Carolina. The beam with which the two girls were killed, weighed more than 19.07 kilograms. Therefore, it was impossible for Stinney to be able to lift it, let alone be able to hit hard enough to kill the two girls. The child was innocent, someone put everything together to blame him just for being black.

To be sincere, I was abt giving up on my. Life, locked myself inside the room for days now thinking of ending my life, because I lost my job at a very crusial stage of my life, a lots of things depends on this job, I lost the job becos someone want me to ripped others off their hard money. But when I read this story, I felt alive again. I felt what I assume to be unfortunate is not actually what it is.
