George Stinney Jr appears in an undated police booking photo by the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. Attorneys in South Carolina say they have fresh evidence that warrants a new trial in the case of the 14-year-old black teenager put to death nearly 70 years ago for the murders of two white girls. George Stinney Jr was the youngest person to be executed in the US in the last century, and attorneys say the request for another trial so long after a defendant’s death is the first of its kind in Carolina.
