A Brief Timeline On March 25, 1931 - Nine black teenagers were arrested on charges of assault, they also had rape charges added after being accused of allegedly raping two white females. March 30,1931 - All of the boys are indicted of rape June 22, 1931 - Talk of executions being the penalty if found guilty November of 1932 - The trials in Alabama are overruled by the Supreme court due to a violation of the due process clause of the 14th Amendment Due Process - It is the legal requirement that the state must respect all legal rights that are owed to a person.

A Brief Timeline 1932 to 1935 - Twice more the Supreme Court overrules some of the Scottsboro cases July 5, 1938 - The final sentencing dealing with the Scottsboro boys is reached April 19, 2013 (82 years after the first incident) - Although all of the Scottsboro Boys have since died the Governor of Alabama signed legislation officially pardoning and exonerating all nine Scottsboro Boys Exonerate- to free or clear one from accusation or blame

The Events Eight of the nine men were convicted by all white juries, Roy white was the only one who was too young for the death penalty.

Convictions In 1937 Haywood Patterson, Charlie Weems, and Andy Wright, along with defendant Clarence Norris were convicted on rape charges, after a six year ordeal that included three trials. Haywood was tried four times before the final verdict was reached.

The Trial The Alabama board of pardons and paroles granted full and unconditional pardons to three of the nine black teenage men. The Alabama legislature unanimously passed a law to allow the parole board to issue posthumous pardons for convictions at least 80 years old, the law was designed to allow the Scottsboro pardon to go forward.

After the trials Most of the Scottsboro boys vanished after their release from prison. Haywood Patterson died of cancer in 1952, and many of the other defendants, including Weems, and Wright moved out of Alabama and managed to keep a low profile.
