@the_goodfilms: Stephen King’s The Green Mile was inspired by the tragic story of George Stinney Jr., the youngest person sentenced to death in the U.S. at just 14 years old. Falsely accused of killing two white girls in 1944, George faced a biased trial that lasted only two hours. He was executed in the electric chair, maintaining his innocence to the end. 70 years later, his conviction was overturned when evidence proved he couldn’t have committed the crime. George’s story is a heartbreaking reminder of racial injustice and a system that failed an innocent child.
