George Stinney's Trial

258 Words2 Pages

I believe George Stinney is innocent . Because first of all he didn’t get a fair trial . Also, his sister claims to be with his the time of the murder, and when this happened it was racism time . Lastly, there were a lot of people that wanted him dead because they thought he killed the two white girls, Betty June Binnicker and Mary Emma Thames. I believe he’s innocent but back then, most of the white people and the Judge , also the Jury thought he was guilty , just because he and his sister were the last to see the girls . But it really doesn’t make sense because when they convicted him they didn’t bother interviewing anyone how could a 14 year old boy that weight 90 pounds be able to kill and carry the two girls . Picked George Stinney

  • The Guilt Of George Milton For First Degree Murder

    753 Words  | 4 Pages

    George is forceful and often shows abrasive tendencies when it came to keeping Lennie in line with what he wanted. On the day the main crime took place George already knew where to find Lennie because he had given Lennie instructions on where to go if he got into anymore trouble at their new job. Who is to say whether George knew that Lennie would mess up eventually and he would have his perfect opportunity to get rid of Lennie and live out his “lone wolf fantasy”.

If I am to prove him otherwise, you must find him so. Lennie Small has been described to us as a caring giant.
