I did the Sacco and Vanzetti case for my blog post.
On April 15 1920 2 men were murdered By Niccola Sacco and Bartolome Vanzetti. There attorney was Fred H. Moore. The 2 men we charged with murder. They had no criminal record so they could have gotten away but they were anarchists, antiwar activists and labor organizers. There lawyer had a plan for them to admit they were all of these so there case would be based off of there political beliefs instead of the evidence, to get rid of the case faster. Later the case became a matter of National Public.
There trial was held in 1921 in superior court. The 2 men followed there lawyer and stated there beliefs but the jury called them guilty. Sacco tried lying and saying he was in boston applying for a passport. There sentenced would be set at a different date.
In 1925 a convicted bank robber admitted to being involved in the murders which provided Sacco and Vanzetti with a new hope.
In 1927 Sacco and Vanzetti were sentenced to death finally after 6 years of sentencing. Still there are circles that talk about this case for a classic example of Tyranny.
