Scottsboro Trial Report

I was a juror at a Scottsboro trial today. As I sat down I had noticed that the jurors around me were almost all white which seemed almost peculiar. Once the court case began, I had heard the side of the lovely Victoria Price and Ruby Bates. Everything that they claimed seemed possible and is most likely what happened to those two poor ladies. Looking at those African-Americans defending themselves filled me with even more anger and hate towards their kind. Why would they do such a thing towards innocent white women and then continue to spit out lies? The boys seemed to have no valid defense and factual evidence to support their case and should be ashamed of themselves for trying to spread lies to the people watching. Victoria, however, had
a very detailed story about the incident which all seemed very believable especially considering that the defendants are Negroes. The case seemed so obvious and straight to the point. It was clear from almost the start that the nine boys were guilty and should be charged with rape. As the hours went by, the case finally came to an end. I was delighted to hear that the boys received a death sentence and the ladies received justice.
