Sentenced to DIE as Kids — The Youngest Death Row Cases!

They were children, but the state sentenced them to die. From the US to around the globe, this is a chilling look at the world's youngest death row cases. Join us as we explore the shocking history of juvenile capital punishment and the devastating legal battles surrounding it. We'll delve into: George Stinney Jr.: The harrowing, unjust execution of a 14-year-old in 1944 after a 10-minute deliberation by an all-white jury. His posthumous exoneration seventy years later reveals a horrifying failure of justice. Paula Cooper: The 15-year-old girl who became the center of a global outcry when she was sentenced to death in 1986, ultimately leading to significant changes in US juvenile death penalty laws. The Global Picture: Examine the international shift away from executing minors, and the few countries that still violate global human rights treaties by sentencing children to death. The Law and the Brain: The landmark legal decisions (like Roper v. Simmons in the US) that finally abolished the juvenile death penalty, and the scientific understanding of the adolescent brain that supported these monumental changes. This is a story that forces us to ask: What happens when our justice system treats children as adults, and what is the cost of irreversible error? Prepare for a heart-wrenching and essential look at the darkest corners of criminal law. #TrueCrime #DeathPenalty #JuvenileJustice #GeorgeStinney #PaulaCooper #History #JusticeSystem
