This episode is part 2 of the (in)famous Scottsboro Boys case, the case that inspired Harper Lee to write her beloved novel To Kill a Mockingbird. In 1931, nine black boys, ages 13-19, were arrested, tried, and convicted of the brutal rapes of two white women, Ruby Bates and Victoria Price. Eight of the nine men were sentenced to death before having their convictions overturned not once, but twice, by the U.S. Supreme Court. This episode discusses the facts surrounding the second case that went to the Supreme Court, Norris v. Alabama (1935).
