2 George Stinney died in the electric chair aged just 14 years old. He was wrongfully convicted of the murders of two young girls in South Carolina. Recently the long fight to exonerate him succeeded. On December 17th 2014 a judge quashed Stinneyʼs conviction on the basis that he did not get a fair trial. It was 70 years too late to save the life of an innocent child.
