CSI investigation of Sacco and Venzetti

I am the CSI investigator and im investigating the case of Sacco and Vanzetti case, well as they say "tolerance, for justice, for man's understanding of man as now we do by accident, Our words, our lives our pains, nothing", "lives of a good shoemaker and a poor fish-peddler all! That last moment belongs to us". They are all wrong because they cannot own people. They were put for trial for the murders of a paymaster and his guard bitterly divided a nation. As the two convicted mens and their supporters struggled on through appellate courts and clemency petitions to avoid the electric chair, public interest in their case continued to grow. on April 15,1920, a paymaster and his guard were carrying a factory payroll of $15,776 through the main street of South Braintree, Massachusetts, a small industrial town south of Boston. Two men standing by a fence suddenly pulled out guns and fired on them. The gunmen snatched up the cash boxes dropped by the wounded pair and jumped into a waiting automobile. Three weeks later, on the evening of May 5, 1920, two Italians, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, fell into a police trap that had been set for a suspect in the Braintree crime. Although originally not under
suspicion, both men were carrying guns at the time of their arrested and when questioned by the authorities they lied. For a first criminal offense in which no one was hurt, Vanzetti received a sentence that was much harsher than usual, ten to fifteen years. This signaled to the two men and their supporters a hostile bias on the part of the authorities that was political in nature and pointed to the need for a new defense strategy in the Braintree trial. This is the case of Sacco and Vanzetti.
