Trial of Sacco and Vanzetti

The Trial of Sacco and Vanzetti was a famous legal case in the 1920s involving two Italian-American anarchists accused of robbing a factory and killing a guard in Massachusetts. Their trial was highly controversial because many believed they were judged unfairly due to their political beliefs and immigrant backgrounds, rather than solid evidence. Despite questions about their guilt, both were convicted and sentenced to death. Their case sparked worldwide protests and debates about justice, prejudice, and civil liberties, highlighting issues of bias in the American legal system. They were executed in 1927, but many continued to view them as victims of injustice.
