Description 14 year old George Stinney was the youngest person executed by the American Judicial System in modern times. He was accused of murdering two young white girls with a railroad spike. He was arrested, denied access to his parents or a lawyer during questioning. His trial lasted for a whole 2 hours. His lawyer called no witnesses. The jury deliberation took less than ten minutes. He was found guilty and executed 81 days later. He was to little to fit correctly in the electric chair, so he was allowed to sit on a bible that had been given him earlier. His sentence was later vacated 70 years after his death.
