According to the article, the judgment "exonerating" Stinney acknowledges that he may have committed the crime. Unless someone thinks that his race, or that of the victims, gives him a free pass to commit murder and escape proper punishment for the crime . . . John Paul Parks ( talk) 04:18, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
George Stinney appears to be guilty based on the following: 1. Deputy Newman's interrogation notes. Here is the full text of his notes (which Wikipeadia , apparently to serve their own agenda to re-write this incident) has refused to include: Deputy Newman's Interrogation notes: '"I was notified that the bodies had been found. I went down to where the bodies were at. I found Mary Emma she was rite [sic] at the edge of the ditch with four or five wounds on her head, on the other side of the ditch the Binnicker girl, were [sic] laying there with 4 or 5 wounds in her head, the bicycle the girls had were beside the little Binnicker girl. By information I received I arrested a boy by the name of George Stinney ... he then made a confession and told me where a piece of iron about 15 inches long were, he said he put it in a ditch about 6 feet from the bicycle which was lying in the ditch."'
2. The police found the murder weapon - apparently a 1 lbs railroad spike - because George told them what it was and where it was. Only the true murderer would know what the murder weapon was and where it was.
3. The NAACP refused to get involved in this case. Why? The NAACP also never proclaimed that George was innocent and/or that he was being railroaded by racist southern white people.
4. George's parents never proclaimed their son was innocent.
5. George never proclaimed his innocence. Never.
6. The S.Carolina Governor was petitioned by the NAACP to commute the sentence and he agreed to look at all the facts of the case. He concluded, as the jury did, George was guilty, and the penalty for George's atrocity - consistent with S.Carolina's law - was death. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.93.158.26 ( talk) 22:02, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
Ah, yes. I’m sure that a crooked deputy’s notes from a forced interrogation are quite the reliable source. TheXuitts ( talk) 00:39, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
"Crooked deputy"? WOW. No evidence to make such a ridiculous, disgraceful assertion. NONE. The NAACP and George's parents appealed to the governor for "clemency" based on the murderer's age. Note that is was not based on the assertion that George was innocent of the double murders/ sexual assault on the white girls. All the evidence points to George's guilt. Nothing points to his innocents.
"he had not received a fair trial, effectively clearing his name." ??? How does not receiving a fair trial show you did not commit a crime? 73.89.206.199 ( talk) 03:19, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
As the title says. SavoyenCRO ( talk) 14:15, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
It has been shown to be almost conclusive to anyone educated on the case that Stinney was innocent of the crimes of which he was convicted of in 1944. It would be a fool’s errand to attempt to prove his guilt with the overwhelming evidence pointing to his innocence, not his guilt, which is examined throughout the article already. In addition to this, other victims of wrongful convictions such as Joe Arridy and Leo Frank have it stated in their articles’ leads that they were wrongfully convicted, despite it not being explicitly stated of their innocence in their vacated judgments or pardons of their convictions. Therefor, I believe it is almost obvious that it’s time for it to state in the lead that Stinney was wrongfully convicted, or at the VERY LEAST that the COMMON CONSENSUS is that he was wrongfully convicted, which would have excessive citation to support that claim. I am aware that this topic has been discussed extensively before, but the fact that this hasn’t been done already is honestly just madness. We need to cut the BS here. Just because the judge said it is possible he is guilty does not overturn reality thag the overwhelming evidence points to Stinney’s innocence and not his guilt. This is not even asking for the lead to say he is innocent, simply that it says either that he was wrongfully convicted or that the common consensus is that he was wrongfully convicted.

The NAACP and George's parents appealed to the governor for "clemency" based on the George's age, not based on the assertion that George was innocent of the double murders/ sexual assault on the white girls. All the evidence points to George's guilt. Nothing points to his innocents. This is just yet another black atrocity which is being re-written e.g. Rosewood, Tulsa riot, Houston Massacre to name but a few. Wikipedia is a full and active player in this agenda. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.95.238.140 ( talk) 18:59, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
If that's the case, we have consensus that the earth is actually flat prior to a certain period, even though objectively we know the earth was never flat. Consensus is why wikipedia is always so erroneous and inadmissible in the classroom. What is correct doesn't care about whether we agree with it. This dude had his conviction vacated because he was black, it was a political move. None of the additional evidence (read through it, it's actually interesting) proves anything at all. The fact that he knew where the murder weapon was and had details that the police hadn't yet found is pretty compelling. The reality is he most probably did do it, but because he is black and is being held up as some kind of civil rights martyr the history books will, as usual, be retconned by political activists masquerading as historians and wikipedians.
This spits on the grave of the innocent women who were violently murdered and endured horrors we would never inflict on our worst enemies. It pisses in the face of them when you pretend their murderer is innocent just because you're a pack of raving racists who think that because we have darker skin color than you we cannot commit crimes. Or maybe you just think we're too low IQ to be culpable for said crimes. 2001:8003:2961:AD00:50FD:2CD8:8930:2A5B ( talk) 08:08, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

I am unable to add photos but can someone please add the photo in this article https://librarynews.northeastern.edu/?p=275797 and caption it “Stinney in 1940” It never said what year it was on the article, but I remember a different site I can’t find anymore saying it. 174.242.222.6 ( talk) 15:03, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
The name of Stinney's sister is spelled inconsistently throughout the article as "Aimé" and "Amie". Which is correct? Muzilon ( talk) 12:39, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
