Trial of Sacco and Vanzetti


Invertigating the Sccco and Vanzetti case has been one of the most interesting yet tough tasks throughout my career. These two men were Italian anarchists that were charged for robbery and murder. Here is sme background information on these two men, they were both born in Italy, Bartolomeo Vanzetti was born on June 11, 1988 in Villafalletto was born innorthern Italy. And Nicola Sacco was born in Torremaggiore southern Italy on April 22, 1891. The two met on may of 1917 in Boston at a meeting of Galleanist Anarchists.

Throughout their lives they committed many crimes, right now they are on trial. Their trial lasted a very long time. they have spent a lot of money on a lawyer they believe will get them out f this mess. In their case it will be very hard and there wont even be enough moneyto find a lawyer good enough to protect them. They had more people on the prosecution witnesses than on the defense witness side. As we all know many people are comletly for them to be sentenced for a very long time because of all of the things they did. They were very dangerous men. They owned very dangerous guns with out a liscence. They have killed and wounded many people, with these two men around was not safe at all. On July 10, 1927 they were sentnced to serve their time. They tought that by writting letters and petitions to the judge and the people on the jury they would have a way of getting out. During the trial they were both asked many questions and there were many lies told during this trial which shows the criminals consciousness of guilt. Sacco lied about where he was on the day of the crime why he had a gun with him on the crime date amd were he bought it and his anarchist convictions.

After all the lies and the evidence from the gun, and bullet i believe that they got what they deserved They were executed by electric chair, a terribly painful death. The jury believed them to be guilty of the crimes. Sacco and Vanzetti were executed after seven years of waiting for their sentence. The jury was correct in finding Sacco and Vanzetti guilty. The bullet matched the gun that it came from exactly.
