Level 8 · 8 mo agoThe podcast is right about the Feltwell case. It shows the justice system was capable of mercy but simply refused to extend it across racial lines.

Level 5 · 8 mo agoThe entire case relied on a confession the sheriff never produced in writing. There is no way a 90 pound kid had the strength to swing a heavy railroad spike and kill two people. The physics just do not add up.
