Original Note:
The pardon didn’t address guilt or innocence. It was granted due to the state’s failure to prevent the lynching, depriving him of his right to appeal. Another possible reason for hostility: this “businessman” was employing workers as young as 10 for pennies an hour. https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/partial-pardon-for-leo-frank-state-of-georgia/UgFZvYHPXzeCEw?hl=en
