The Case of George Stinney Jr.: When Age and Race Skew Justice

In this episode, we delve into the tragic case of George Stinney Jr., the youngest person in the 20th century to be sentenced to death and executed in the United States. We explore how racial bias, age discrimination, and a rushed investigation led to a grave miscarriage of justice. We also discuss the posthumous efforts to clear Stinney's name and what this case reveals about the flaws in our justice system, especially when it comes to juvenile defendants.
