The Case:
"He wasn't an angel, but he didn't deserve what happened to him" -Jeanine F. Hunter
There was no concrete evidence against Mays, nor was there motive, but nonetheless he was convicted to death. He claimed that the case against him was one of "oppression and injustice" but not one white member on that jury was willing to listen. On March 15th 1922, 6000V went through May's body and he was pronounced dead 5 minutes later. |
