Accused of a 1920 South Braintree robbery, during which two men were murdered in cold blood, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were convicted and sentenced to death. But did evidence support their convictions “beyond a reasonable doubt?" Or were they “convicted” simply because they were Italian immigrants — and anarchists? The Sacco and Vanzetti case became an international cause célèbre, igniting massive demonstrations, splitting families apart, and to some, staining Massachusetts justice forever. Led by Gregory Williams, who was a District Court judge for many years, retiring as the First Justice of the Edgartown District Court on the Cape in 2015. Learn more about Williams HERE.
