No transcript was recorded of the brief trial. Stinney was convicted of first-degree murder of the two girls in less than 10 minutes by an all-white jury, during a two hour trial. The court refused to hear his appeal. He was executed that year, still age 14, by electric chair.
His conviction was overturned after he was executed when a court ruled that he had not received a fair trial.
