re: #2 Aunty Entity Dragon

Then again, it looks like we have a lynching case right here in North Carolina that the local LE tried to cover up…

Holy crap. Definitely sounds like a lynching. WTF?

re: #3 sffilk

And this helps the young man how? He’s been dead 70 years and is unable to know that he’s been exonerated.

Obviously, it doesn’t help him at all and I don’t think anyone in the article I linked to claimed it did, however it said that his family has “spent the past several years doggedly trying to get the case re-opened because they believe Stinney was forced into a confession by police. ” If it gives them some closure to have his name cleared, then at least it has helped someone.
