It took how long?
"Judge: Boy, 14, shouldn’t have been executed in SC" by Jeffrey Collins, Associated Press December 18, 2014
COLUMBIA, S.C. — More than 70 years after South Carolina sent a 14-year-old black youth to the electric chair in the killings of two white girls in a segregated mill town, a judge threw out the conviction, saying the state committed a great injustice.
Why mu$t it always take them $o long to admit it?
George Stinney was arrested, convicted of murder in a one-day trial, and executed in 1944 — all in the span of about three months and without an appeal.
Justice delayed is justice denied, but that's taking it a bit far.
The speed in which the state meted out justice against the youngest person executed in the United States in the 20th century was shocking and extremely unfair, Circuit Judge Carmen Mullen wrote in her ruling Wednesday.
Investigators arrested Stinney, saying witnesses saw him with the girls as they picked flowers. He was kept away from his parents after his arrest, and authorities later said he confessed.
His supporters said he was a small, frail boy so scared that he said whatever he thought would make the authorities happy.
Like what torture would do.
They said there was no physical evidence linking him to the deaths....

Looks like murder to me.
The culprit?
"The ultimate cause of autism remains a mystery in most cases, but he findings add to other research suggesting the environment plays a role in the development of autism, a developmental disorder marked by repetitive behaviors and trouble communicating and socializing."
Yeah, it's anything and everything but the damn vaccines.
Time to get back to work.
