Sacco and Vanzetti case

The Sacco and Vanzetti case involved two Italian immigrants, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, who were accused of robbing a shoe factory and murdering a guard in Massachusetts in 1920. Despite limited evidence and allegations of prejudice against their immigrant and anarchist beliefs, they were convicted and sentenced to death. Controversy arose over their trial's fairness, with many believing they were targeted unjustly. They were executed in 1927, sparking international protests and debates about justice, bias, and political prejudice in the American legal system.
