Katherine Stinney Robinson, 79, sister of George Stinney, testifies during the hearing Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014, at the Sumter (S.C.) County Judicial Center in Sumter, S.C. George Stinney, a 14-year-old black boy executed nearly 70 years ago is finally getting another day in court, as his lawyers argue for a new trial, saying his conviction was tainted by the segregationist-era justice system and scant evidence. Stinney was found guilty in 1944 of killing two white girls, ages 7 and 11. The trial lasted less than a day in the tiny Southern mill town of Alcolu, separated, as most were in those days, by race.
