Weekly Article Sacco And Vanzetti


From the evidence and the chronology, it appears that the police were out to get Sacco and Vanzetti, because of their anarchist political views. The evidence found at the scene which supposedly links Sacco and Vanzetti to the crime is hardly enough for conviction. The cap which was found and is said to have belonged to Sacco did no fit while he was on the stand. Also, the Buick which they were driving was only suspected to be used in the crime. Besides the tire tracks that hundreds of cars have, and the coloring, there is no evidence linking the vehicle to the crime.
Also, the witnesses of the crime could not positively identify Sacco and Vanzetti one hundred percent. It's obvious that the so called witnesses jumped on the bandwagon after the trial became public. The defendants were often questioned about their political views, even though they were not relevant to the crime. This points to the idea that the prosecution was merely using this to pick on the jury's fears of an un-American was of life.
The defenses ballistics reports also came to the conclusion that 'bullet number 3' could not have been fired from the Colt that belonged to Sacco. The trial contained evidence that came across cross-contamination by onlooker on the scene, and unprofessional interrogation. Much of the evidence has been used even though it is insufficient.
