The Story of Stinney
True Crime
20 Episodes
This series is the story of two failures set inside the same case — a 14-year-old Black child sent to the electric chair after a three-hour trial and a ten-minute jury deliberation, and two young girls whose actual killer was never found because the wrong person had already been condemned. Betty June Binnicker was 11. Mary Emma Thames was 7. George Junius Stinney Jr. was 14. All three were failed by the same courtroom.
