The Death Penalty wasn't considered appropriate for this crime, which, for some reason, never got national publicity here in America. Think about the tragic cases of James Byrd and Matthew Shepard, they were international news for years. Yet this, and other like it, don't get the big press.

It is very sad when innocents are hurt. But, 100 years ago they had fewer ways to determine guilt than we do now. I'm sure they did their best. quote: ORIGINAL: ThatDamnedPanda South Carolina acknowledges that it executed 2 innocent men. A little late for them and their immediate families, of course, but that's the price of justice in a free society. Ain't it? quote: Nearly 100 years had passed since his great-uncles, Thomas Griffin and Meeks Griffin, were wrongfully executed in South Carolina. On Wednesday, a board voted 7-0 to pardon both men, clearing their names in the 1913 killing of a veteran of the Confederate Army. It marks the first time in history that South Carolina has issued a posthumous pardon in a capital murder case. Oops! Our Bad!
