There seems to be a mistake in the information provided. George Stinney, an African-American boy born in South Carolina in 1929, tragically became the youngest person ever executed in the United States legal system at the age of 14. In 1944, George was wrongfully convicted of the murders of two young girls based on questionable evidence and a hasty trial marked by racial bias and injustice. In 2014, George Stinney's conviction was posthumously overturned, acknowledging the injustice he had suffered. Consequently, there is no accurate estimation of his net worth as he did not live to see adulthood or have the opportunity to accumulate wealth and achieve financial success.
About
African-American boy who was executed as a 14-year-old after being convicted of murdering a pair of white girls. Seven decades after the execution, the conviction was overturned on the grounds that his Sixth Amendment rights had been violated due to his lack of legal defense during the trial. There was only circumstantial evidence linking him to the homicides.
Before Fame
In March of 1944, he was convicted of murdering June Binnicker and Mary Emma Thames in the first-degree following an only two-hour-long trial by an all-white jury. On the day of the murders, he had simply spoken to the two young victims who, in the hours leading up to their deaths, happened to ride their bicycles past his home.
Trivia
His case inspired a 1988 novel by David Stout titled Carolina Skeletons.
Family Life
His unjust arrest and conviction caused his father to lose his job and his family members, fearing lynching, to leave their hometown of Alcolu, South Carolina.
