Does not necessarily mean he was innocent, only that there was a lack of evidence s far as I can tell. But from what I can gather he confessed, and family members 70 years later is saying he was pressured by the cops so a judge exonerated him.

I don't know what to say about this.

There were 2 different, probably forced confession.


But what I do remember about reading about this case a few years ago, was one of the quotes from a juror. It took like ten minutes to convict him, and the juror said that they would have convicted him sooner, but that they took a break for a soda pop. Something like that. Can you imagine if your life was in the hands of people like that?

Edit: I just read on Wikipedia: "The entire trial, including jury selection, took one day." Can you imagine that?

But when it comes to how American Whites have prosecuted innocent American Blacks for about 300 years, and no one cares.

Of course. How convienent
