What could such a terrible young criminals do that they were sentenced to such severe punishment? It’s not always a murder. It is good that in many countries there are moratoria on such executions and similar occurrences are less and less common.

15В sad stories from all about juvenile offenders sentenced toВ death. There are girls.

The death penalty is aВ terrible and incorrigible punishment, for serious crimes. Punishment is terrible and irreparable. InВ many countries, including Russia, aВ moratorium has been imposed on such measures. But the United States ofВ America continues toВ practice executions. InВ the early eighties inВ Texas, for this purpose, the first lethal injection was introduced.

Now the cases ofВ such punishments have decreased, the judicial machine is leaning towards more humane methods under the pressure ofВ the public, but aВ few hundred years ago many ofВ the accused would not have died. Including children. The history knows about aВ thousand court cases, where the verdict was pronounced inВ favor ofВ the death penalty, and the sentenced turned out toВ be aВ minor. As inВ cases with adult criminals, sometimes their guilt was undeniably proven, but sometimes aВ whole series ofВ questions remained toВ the investigation.

Some ofВ these heartbreaking cases are given below.

George Stinney – an African American who was at the wrong time in the wrong place

AВ fourteen-year-old black boy was seen inВ the company ofВ two white girls. Children just picked flowers. But soon the bodies ofВ the murdered girls were found with traces ofВ beatings inflicted with metal objects.

George was detained by the police. Parents vainly tried to see him – it was forbidden. During the interrogations, pressure was exerted – as a result, the boy pleaded guilty. The jury ruled on the death penalty within a matter of ten minutes. By the way, there was not one African American among the jury.

The George family sought aВ review ofВ the decision, but the appeal was rejected. Stinny finished his life inВ an electric chair. He was aВ child ofВ short stature and aВ story is well known about the fact that he had toВ put aВ book under him toВ bring the sentence toВ execution.

Seventy years later, the defendant was found not guilty, the official report said the absence ofВ aВ lawyer and the pressure on the adolescent byВ the investigation. There was also aВ lack ofВ direct evidence. It is aВ pity that neither George nor his family from this statement is not easier.

Arkady Neiland is aВ fifteen-year-old killer with anВ ax

The guy, as often happens inВ such cases, grew up not inВ the best conditions. From the orphanage, where he was identified at the age ofВ twelve, he constantly ran away. He did not want toВ study Arkady categorically. The police knew the boy inВ the face from childhood. He was constantly involved inВ petty thefts, fights and hooligan antics.
