Sacco and Vanzetti innocent or guilty?

          During the 1920s, anarchist groups wanted to overthrow the government and were ready to use violence if necessary. Due to this and other tributes, anarchists were hunted down by police and either thrown in jail or deported back to their country. As immigrants and anarchists, both Sacco and Vanzetti were already degraded, hated, and controversial. This by no means justifies the atrocity of their trial, but simply gives some context as to why the judge and jury made their choice. At the end of the trial, both men were executed for first degree murder, but I want to analyze the process that went into proving them guilty. First lets go back to what happened. Ignoring fro now the lesser offense, both men were tried for the murder of a guard and paymaster with the purpose of stealing their suitcases full of money. This event happened on April 15, 1920 and was seen my several eye witnesses who later testified. Two men allegedly ran behind the guard and paymaster, shot them, took their cases of payroll money, and escaped in a car. Later, A group of Italians went to pick up a car, were called out on suspicion, and all but Sacco and Vanzetti were captured. Finding guns on them, the police arrested them and brought them to be trialed. Since neither men spoke for fear of tattle talking or revealing anarchism, a general suspicion was aroused.
          The trial was utterly and completely biased, unjust, and illogical. According to the documentary in class, the judge had strong anti anarchist feelings which translated into the trial. later, when evidence was found disproving his ruling, the judge refused another trial and kept the death sentence. This judge also falsified forensic evidence discovered by the police. The police compared the gun calibers from the Italians and the gunshot wounds and found them to be different. The judge let slide a theory that the Italians stole the guard's gun without any evidence and used it against the two men. The jury was also biased. many were local anti anarchists, and one even voiced his feelings out loud. As we know, both men were found guilty for murder from this unjust trial. Even, later, a prison cell mate confessed to having been in the escape car, and his criminal group was found. But since the judge did not allow this evidence to be used, both Sacco and Vanzetti died by electric chair.
          I am still not sure whether Sacco and Vanzetti were innocent or guilty as there is just reason for both. On one side, they were completely unjustly tried and have alibis and reasons to be completely guilty of such an offense. Even the note given by the jail cellmate could have been forged as he was going to die anyways. This note could easily have been made as a last attempt to help Sacco and Vanzetti live, but could easily also have been real. So with the evidence given to us from the documentary, I can for sure say that the trial was biased and unfair, but I cannot personally attest to the guilt or innocence of either of these two men for the greater offense. If anybody has evidence proving their innocence or guilt, I would be interested in hearing it.
