He was executed by the state of South Carolina seventy-two years ago, today.
He was fourteen years old and ninety pounds but was convicted for killing two girls and dumping their bodies.
It took the all-white, all-male jury ten minutes to decide his fate.
Besides a completely botched trial that violated amendments and made due process impossible, Stinney had no witnesses called on his behalf and his appointed defense was a tax commissioner who was running for local office...
The straps and headgear for the electric chair didn't even fit Stinney.
We are a terrible people.

I wanted to keep quiet while the new EP was being written and recorded but it is finally finished and we are waiting for it to be mastered. The new record is titled "Survival In Negative" and it is going to be nine tracks. An enormous thank you to Matt at GRINDPROMOTION RECORDS for getting this thing put out.
We finally have a couple shows lined up as well and will be posting those flyers/links within the next day or so.
