S4 Ep43: How Two Murders Became Three: The Story of George Stinney Jr.
Crimes of the Centuries
by Amber Hunt
3w ago
In 1944, the brutal slayings of two young girls made plenty of headlines in Alcolu, South Carolina. The trial of their suspected killer garnered far less attention -- even when he was convicted and violently executed in the electric chair. That's because few people had much sympathy for the boy who supposedly confessed to the crime. Nearly a century later, however, and 14-year-old George Stinney Jr. is not only recognized as the youngest person legally executed in America in the 20th century, but he's also largely recognized as being wrongfully convicted.

And his killer would be the first in the country to argue a defense of temporary insanity. "Crimes of the Centuries" is a podcast from Grab Bag Collab exploring for ..read more
