FILE - This undated photo provided by the South Carolina Department of Archives and History shows George Stinney Jr. the youngest person ever executed in South Carolina in 1944. Lawyers trying to get a new trial for Stinney say publicity about their case has caused more witnesses to come forward to try to prove his innocence. A judge will hear the appeal for a new trial Jan. 21, 2014. A man who helped pull the bodies of the 7- and 11-year-old from a ditch described exactly where they were found _ several hundred yards from where Stinney, said he saw the girls, according to a brief filed by the attorneys late Friday, Jan. 10, 2014. The boy was out of school for less than an hour that day in March 1944, and it would have likely been impossible for the 95-pound teen to move both bodies such a distance in such a short time span, the lawyers said.(AP Photo/South Carolina Department of Archives and History, File)
