Original Note:
Stinney was not exonerated. In 2014 his conviction was vacated. A vacated conviction is when legal proceedings were flawed and the conviction is no longer valid, an exoneration means that the person was found to be completely innocent of the crime they were accused of. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stinney https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacated_judgment?searchToken=cf42f52lxpfhmlx05j5f3h8d8
