The Guards Strapped His Slight, Fivefootoneinch Frame Into The Electric Chair. His Small Size Made It Difficult To Affix The Electrode To His Right Leg And The Face Mask, Which Was Clearly Too Large, Fell To The Floor When The Executioner Flipped The Switch. That Day, George Stinney Became, And Today Remains, The Youngest Person Executed In The United States During The Twentieth Century.How Was It Possible, Even In Jim Crow South Carolina, For A Child To Be Convicted, Sentenced To Death, And Executed Based On Circumstantial Evidence In A Trial That Lasted Only A Few Hours?
