Biography - A Short Wiki

African-American boy who was executed as a 14-year-old after being convicted of murdering a pair of white girls. Seven decades after the execution, the conviction was overturned on the grounds that his Sixth Amendment rights had been violated due to his lack of legal defense during the trial. There was only circumstantial evidence linking him to the homicides.

His unjust arrest and conviction caused his father to lose his job and his family members, fearing lynching, to leave their hometown of Alcolu, South Carolina.
