The Sacco and Vanzetti case

The Sacco and Vanzetti case involved two Italian immigrants, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, who were arrested in 1920 for robbery and murder in Massachusetts. Their trial was marked by prejudiced attitudes towards immigrants and anarchists. Despite weak evidence and claims of unfair treatment, they were convicted and sentenced to death. The case sparked widespread protests and debates about justice and political bias, with many believing they were innocent victims of societal prejudice. They were executed in 1927, and the case remains a symbol of injustice and the impact of social and political factors on the legal system.
