I'm curious why the person who reported seeing George Stinney Jr talking to the girls wasn't the prime suspect.

[@alrise1776]

Right?

[@lakerforever1]

Fr though

[@amberwilloughby9531]

Right!!!

[@michelle-loraejones5169]

Because it was a white person most likely.

[@sabrinasiggers1602]

Great question. My guess (based on the sign of the times back then) is the person who reported it was white and for that reason they just ran with the fact that he placed a person of color at the scene. It was much easier to pin it on him than it would have been to dig deeper into the murder. Sad to say but I believe George Stinney Jr was nothing more than a scapegoat. Even if they did know who really did it, he still would have caught the blame. It’s an unfortunate reality for that specific time.

[@Kimteach2011]

The only thing George was guilty of was being Black in the 1940s South Carolina and coming across two white girls. Legal experts and cold case detectives reviewed this case and found George to be innocent. It's well known George was coerced into saying he's guilty because he was scared and a kid. The police promised him candy and promised to let him see his family again if he takes the rap. George and those girls are the real victims. The real murderer, the medical examiner, the governor, the police, the county, and state of South Carolina are the guilty parties.

[@sharonw2475]

Ok, just proves my point. No defensive wounds means these girls trusted their killer. Nephew, brother, but positively male. As far as the testimony back in 1944, they could have beat, threatened, or worse to that 14yr old child. No one was there to protect him.

[@user-yx9ht9jo4r]

The individual who claimed to have witnessed George Stinney Jr. with the two girls is, in fact, the likely perpetrator of the crime, not George. For him to have observed George with the girls in such a remote location, he himself would have had to be in that secluded area. George had a legitimate reason to be there, as he was tending to a cow. Therefore, logically, the true culprit appears to be the man who filed the report.

Another angle: If they put George to death just because he was black they would also know they were falsely accusing him and would also know that the real killer was still out there. It doesn't seem reasonable that they would let the real killer escape just to execute a black kid. And if they were really so cruel and blind with racist hate to do that, would they not have also beat and persecuted his father? The whole story seems odd.

There are a lot of things that are not told about the story of George Stinney and the events surrounding him being charged for murder. He had a white lawyer who refused to truly represent him and that lawyer didn't cross examine or call witnesses to the stand. Now George Stinney was with his younger sister who admitted they were approached by the 2 girls but it was brief and she and her brother went home after the encounter. His other siblings also attested to the fact that he was at home when those murders would have occurred. I truly believe that this murder was pinned on him and the true murderer got away with it. It wasn't uncommon for rapes and murders to be pinned on black males due to a lot of the propaganda that was always disseminated about black men being violent etc. It wasn't hard to convince a racist all white jury that a black person was guilty either. You had a racist judge and an all white jury who was probably just as racist determining a young boy's fate.

Another excellent and well explained video Lamont. I am a retired London UK police officer and historian and amateur criminologist. It's true that there was no proof of his guilt AND no proof of his innocence, BUT under pretty much every legal system in the "civilised" world, the expression is "Innocent until proven guilty". Meaning that it was not down to George Stinney Jr to prove his innocence, but for the prosecution to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that young George was guilty. This did not happen. Given the era and location, it is pretty safe to say that this was nothing more than an abuse of whatever masqueraded as the legal system in 1944 and was almost certainly racially motivated and decided. Nowadays a "confession" of a minor like that would be inadmissible as he had no legal advice or an appointed adult with him during the interview. I, like you Lamont, agree that he could have murdered these other children. It IS possible... but not probable. There is/was absolutely no physical evidence to prove his guilt. The confession could for all we know have been entirely fabricated. This was not just a huge miscarriage of justice, I would actually go as far to say that this was a "legal murder". THREE children were murdered in the summer of 1944, and only one of the killers is known to us, and that is the biased (bigoted) South Carolina judiciary. RIP George Stinney Jr. We will never forget you. Love and Peace everyone.

First of all, you are an excellent storyteller and I love your videos! Listening to this very much reminded me of Stephen King's "The Green Mile"... It makes me wonder if this may have been part of his inspiration for the story. The sad thing is that people's reason was so clouded by racial bias in those days, that it's pretty much like they were saying to the real killer, that it was ok for them to murder those two innocent girls, they would just find some easy target to pin it on (in this case, a poor black child), hence allowing a real killer to walk free amongst them. Of course, it is easy for me to say that through the lens of time. I have a hard time believing those girls **weren't** sexually assaulted in some way. Perhaps the medical examiner didn't want to just come out and say so. Somewhere out there, some disgusting creep got away with bloody murder. The fact that there was very little blood at the scene suggests that the girls were killed elsewhere and merely dumped where they were found. Head wounds are notorious for bleeding profusely. It is sad that George Jr.'s family did not have the funds to send his body back up to New York to be buried. The mobs and Klan in those days did not just go after people of color, but also anybody they deemed to be undesirable or a threat. It would be very easy for white people who knew the truth to be scared into silence. Anyway... just my two cents. Hopefully I didn't anger the KZbin gods with my thoughts. Keep up the good work!

I am sure George Burke’s truck was scrapped a long time ago. It would be interesting to know what he did with his truck, after the crime was committed. He had to have been worried someone may suspect him, seeing as how the victims’ bodies were found on his property. It is a shame this crime was not thoroughly investigated.

As Always Thank You Mister Lamont! I am at 24 minutes into this remake or addendum video. I am a former elementary teacher and My knowledge of legal matters is at best pedestrian.

That means the Accused is given the benefit of doubt Where it cannot be proven that "He didn't do it." As I understand it; Napoleonic jurisprudence Assumes Guilt unless proven innocent. Proof and evidence must show that the accused is in point of fact, guilty "Beyond a REASONABLE DOUBT." a Prosecutor cannot argue "Prove the Accused did not do it!" The Burdon of Proof ALWAYS LIES WITH THE PROSECUTION! Mr. Lamont Your Powerful command of biography memorializes the victims of injustice and prevent cases from growing too cold!

If you listen to the different parts of the story......the part that stands out to me is that george burke was a truck driver, someone saw the girls go into his truck, their bodies were found on his fathers land. At the crime scene it was said there was little to no blood found there. Which means: their bodies were transported there and dumped after they were killed, which would have to have been perpetrated by an adult size person. No one ever searched the truck, or even questioned the burke guy after they heard he had been in the girls company. Poor George Jr was railroaded, and they executed the wrong person!

In the movie it starts off with Goerge and his sister bumping into the two girls, they ask George and his sister if they knew where they could find mum's s aka flowers. George and his sister say, they don't know to which the girls reply, maybe we can find some on the tracks. Once home police were looking for the girls and asked for help they needed everyone to help form a search party . Before George's father leaves he asked his children if they saw the girls and George Jr. tells his father that they saw the girls and that they were going to some spot at the tracks to find some flowers. This is where I get confused , being how it was back in those times I never understood why, George's father would take them directly to where little George Jr told him and lord and behold they found them dead exactly as to where Goerge told his dad they were going. I don't know about you , but, people knew to protect there family and one would be if two girls had been missing and your black son told you one he saw them and two they said they were going to a certain part of the tracks well, it wouldn't take a genius to look at your son and say, do not tell anyone you saw these girls , you understand me ( noone) to which then the father could of gone on helping with the search and not telling them his son George saw the girls and they said they'd be going to the bump at the tracks to find flowers and again , lead them there to which they were found dead. Another , red flag, Goerges father and his mother leave the home when they knew clearly that the sheriff would be coming to speak to little George there son yet, they left him to the dogs. No parent especially colored would have done these things for fear of the white collar man. Red flags ! In 2014 a batch of college students studying law once graduated took on this trail to turn George's conviction and they won therefore, George is now a innocent young man. 70 yrs later the case was opened and these law students first case they win and overturned this conviction. It still doesn't change the fact that someone lived there life that actually murdered the two girls. The older girl had bruises in her private area the little one didn't which tells me the murder didn't have sex with the little one because he couldn't perform after he had sex with the older girl which if you ask me sounds like it had been an older man that attacked these girls. That leaves and I quote George's older brother who wanted to join the old military and the father who couldn't wait to tell the search party who is white that his little 14 year old black son saw the girls and by the way he said they went to the bump at the tracks and brings them exactly straight to those two girls bodies. I believe it could of been the father honestly . I thought about this for years . However, I still can't earse the older brother out of the equation as well. But, being that little Goerge was with his sister and went straight home I believe he was truly innocent. I will stick to my belief that his father or older brother murdered those girls.

It wouldn't surprise me if the killer was a transient....especially since the railroad tracks was nearby. Easy in and out. I hope a train ran over the bastard who did it.

[@MsKitha76]

He was a child, not a young man!!

[@hustlinghard8081]

@@MsKitha76 14 is a young man, any teenage male is considered a young man & a teenage girl is considered a young lady. A child is infant to start of puberty. He may have been the size of a child but he was in fact a young man.

WOW!!! Terrifying to think that things really haven't changed that much in the legal system today. Thank you for posting this great video

[@cncguy1979]

Really!! comeon ,that's by far the stupidest comment here. An innocent 14 yr old would never go thru that today.

[@Janellabelle]

Omg! His mother lived another 45 years with this horrific murder of her youngest child!

[@stephanieann1213]

Without having motive I highly doubt this little boy had anything to do with these murders. I can only imagine how they abused him during the interrogation. What a horrible miscarriage of justice. I hope all involved are rotting in hell. Rip George🙏🏼💙

He may not be innocent in the eyes of the law, but he’s innocent in the eyes of common sense.

[@yxngthugger1561]

He’s innocent in the eyes of the law lol. And NOT in the eyes of common sense

[@yangpaan453]

Yeah you literally got it backwards. He was exonerated which means he is innocent in the eyes of the law. Common sense is where they failed.

[@thunder21x]

^^^you both are lacking common sense^^^

[@winning3329]

None of you people were there and don't know what happened? I do know today that 14 year Olds are capable of coming awful crimes. I'm not saying he's guilty but I'm saying that since I don't know what happened I'm not going to call him innocent or guilty, I'm just going to call it a terrible event in the past.

[@sonnymcs4862]

@@winning3329You also can’t call someone guilty when there’s zero evidence. There’s no way someone of Stinney’s weight could’ve dragged the bodies there, or that he could’ve carried them to another spot without a blood trail.

[@RobertSchildt-vt8yw]

I have to agree with you Lamont on your final comments on alot of things! I don't honestly believe that young man had killed those those other children but, like you mentioned none of us were there or even thought of back then! Good video

[@EleanorDorsey-tm1zx]

We know how things went back then and now!!

[@shadowears]

So much is wrong with this case! If he was guilty, still there is no reasonable purpose of executing him being only 14 years old! And if he was innocent, which evidence or lack there of suggests, he should have been acquitted on the grounds of "innocent until proven guilty"! What puzzles me the most is why was there even a trial if he had confessed? This young man certainly was not afforded his constitutional rights! If I were a jury member I would say Not Guilty!

My mom was born in 1943. From NC near the SC line. Scary times for black folks in the south. An infamous case happened in a nearby town in 1958. Called the Kissing Case in Monroe, NC.

[@virtuousbelle9940]

I'm from/reside in NC as well. There were so many atrocities that were covered up. The story that comes to mind that I loved was the one of the 3K Klowns coming to Pembroke/Lumberton & the people (lumbee & black) came together an ambushed the cross burning & hooded meeting by the "others" in which the bipoc stood their ground. People that aren't in the parts of NC/SC that was built on rasc!sm don't know how deep the roots are & that covert & open rac!sm is STILL PROMINENT. There's the actual display of a HUGE confederate flag, that can be seen for miles, right on I-95 near Johnston County til this day. The confederate/Jim Crow beliefs & ideologies are still in tact & it dare not be challenged. It breaks my heart to see we've come so far yet still regressed.

Who was kissing who??
