FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S LAWYERS CITED THE 'SCOTTSBORO BOYS" CASE TO ASK THE WASHINGTON DC FEDERAL COURT TO DELAY HIS TRIAL DATE UNTIL APRIL 2026. THE CASE THEY CITED HAPPENED NINETY TWO YEARS AGO IN 1931. IT IS COMMONLY CITED AS AN EXAMPLE OF A LEGAL INJUSTICE IN THE UNITED STATES LEGAL SYSTEM. I HAVE NEVER READ THE STORY BEFORE BUT, AFTER I READ THE WIKIPEDIA ENTRY, I WAS DEEPLY SADDENED BY WHAT THESE TEENAGE BOYS AGES 12 to 19 WENT THROUGH AND HOW THEIR LIVES ENDED. I WANT EVERYONE TO READ THIS STORY.
