Do you agree with the death penalty? EXPLAIN

Facts of the Sacco- Vanzetti Case: At about 3pm on the afternoon of April 15, 1920, Frederick Parmenter, a paymaster, and his guard, Alessandro Bardelli, were killed by two men, armed with pistols at the Slater and Morrill Shoe Factory in South Braintree, Massachusetts. The murder occurred as the two men were carrying boxes containing the company's payroll. After committing the murders, the two men grabbed the payroll money and jumped into a getaway car with two other men. They drove away at a high rate of speed and crossed some nearby railroad tracks. At the time of the South Braintree murders, police had been investigating a similar crime which had occurred in December, 1919 in the nearby town of Bridgewater. In both cases, there was a getaway car and in both cases, eyewitnesses said the perpetrators were Italians. Chief Michael Stewart of the Bridgewater Police, who was investigating the Bridgewater crime, suspected that the getaway car used in the Bridgewater crime was being held in a local garage waiting to be picked up. He instructed the garage's owner to notify him when the owner of the vehicle came to claim the car. On May 5, 1920, four Italians who had happened to be anarchists came to claim the suspected getaway car. The police were on to them from the very start. Michael Boda escaped arrest. Orciani was cleared when it was revealed that he was working on the day of both the Bridgewater and Braintree crimes. The last two men, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, were caught on a street car and arrested. At the time of their arrest, both Sacco and Vanzetti were carrying loaded firearms. In addition, both men lied to police when questioned about their ties to radical political organizations. With this evidence, the police believe that Sacco and Vanzetti had shown "consciousness of guilt" and were charged with first degree murder in connection with the payroll murders at the Slater and Morrill Shoe Factory in South Braintree. The trial began on May 21, 1921.

Historical Importance of Case: At first, the Sacco and Vanzetti trial drew only local coverage, but as time progressed it attracted national attention. The fear of immigrants and radicals, who seemed to demonstrate "un- American "behavior, gripped the nation in the years immediately following WWI. During this time period, intense efforts were underway to suppress radical behavior. In many cases, these involved unlawful arrest, imprisonment, violence and deportation. While the "Red Scare" had largely died down by the time of the trial, these issues were very fresh in the minds of the American public. The police trap that Sacco and Vanzetti fell into, when arrested was intended to trap a friend of theirs who was suspected of being a radical. While Sacco and Vanzetti had no prior criminal record, they were known as anarchists and militants with a history of involvement in labor unrest, political agitation, and anti-war behavior which contributed to them being arrested. Tension between police and Italian radicals was at its peak when Sacco and Vanzetti were arrested. While this was a murder case, the trial focused on the issue of a person's right to his or her own beliefs, and the right to freely express those beliefs. Free speech was a critical issue. As you prepare for this trial, attempt to put yourself into this time period and keep these important issues in mind.
