Katherine Stinney Robinson, 79, sister of George Stinney, testifies during the hearing Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014, at the Sumter (S.C.) County Judicial Center in Sumter, S.C.

Stinney was found guilty in 1944 of killing two white girls, ages 7 and 11. The trial lasted less than a day in the tiny Southern mill town of Alcolu, separated, as most were in those days, by race.
