Buckle in, because in today’s episode, we’re discussing the tragic life of George Stinney. At fourteen years old, George was wrongfully convicted of a crime, and after an injustice by the court, was sentenced to death. Seventy years later, his conviction was overturned, but George still suffered the consequences of a broken criminal justice system. Although it’s not a happy episode, we honor George on what would have been his ninety-first birthday.
