The trial is understandable because I am sure that the Americans had a fairly difficult time trusting any Italians. even though Sacco and Vanzetti were innocent, being in that judgmental time period, it was simply how people thought. no one was very accepting. The case started in Braintree with two Italian gunmen that jumped into a get-away car. Unfortunately Sacco and Vanzetti were Italian and the both had guns with them during the wrong place and wrong time. so the coppers took them in. they also made another mistake by lying when they were being questioned. and that was all it took in order for people to start making assumptions. when the police started digging deeper into their histories, they found out that Vanzetti had committed a previous robbery in Bridgewater. this obviously didn't help prove his innocence. when his day in court finally case around, he never showed up. it seemed like he was digging himself in a hole by in a way framing himself for a crime he never committed. Eye witnesses are unable able to place Sacco or Vanzetti in the crime scene and could not identify them until seeing them during their arrest. this is a major issue because its fairly difficult to commit a crime that you haven not attended to. Second, the gun shells do not match from the ones of Vanzetti's gun. this evidence should also be taken out of the case considering the tempered evidence by switching gun barrels in van's gun. there is no way that Sacco and Vanzetti committed these crimes. Vanzetti even admits that reason why lied is to prevent getting deported back to Italy because of his acquaintance with other radicals. this man is guilty, but he is not guilty of this crime. The two pieces of evidence that are against them cannot hold up in court because none of it holds reliability and a positive conclusion that the pair of gentleman on trial are guilty. the witnesses cannot place them in the crime scene and Vanzetti's gun was not fired during it. Neither of these men should be held in contempt for this crime for one more day.
