Radical Responses to the The Great Depression

They Shall Not Die!:The Story of Scottsboro in Pictures.

New York: Workers' Library Publishers, 1932.

Alabama Circuit Court Judge James E. Horton, after presiding over the 1933 Decatur trial of Haywood Patterson, threw out the guilty verdict as incompatible with the evidence, and a new trial was granted. This courageous act brought an end to his political career and made him a social pariah but was highly influential in drawing attention to the gaps and contradictions in the prosecution's evidence.
