There’s been a huge campaign to quash the verdict on 14 year old George Stinney Jr and finally his family have succeeded. Sadly it’s too late for George who at the age of 14 was electrocuted. George was so small and the electric chair so large that they had to bolster his height by putting books for him to sit on. It has taken 70 years for justice but the tenacity of his sister and local civil rights activists in North Caroline has delivered justice at last. washingtonpost/news/post-nation/wp/2014/12/17/judge-throws-out-teens-murder-conviction-70-years-after-his-execution/
