Murder trial in Massachusetts (1920 – 27). After the robbery and murder of Federick Parmenter andAlessandro Berardelli at a shoe factory (1920) wHere they were shot and money had been stolen, police arrested the Italian immigrant anarchists Nicola Sacco (1891 – 1927), a shoemaker, and Bartolomeo Vanzetti (1888 – 1927), a fish peddler. They were tried and found guilty. Tons of people protested the men's innocence, and many others felt they had been convicted for their anarchist beliefs.There were not only opinions and beliefs stated they also had evidence and witnesses to help determine Sacco and Vanzetties fate. Witnesses and ivestigators gave descriptions of the criminals which seemed to match with the two men and physical evidence was also found physical evidence like gun shell casings on the scene of the crime, and on Venzetti himself. The jury with much deliberation debated on wether the shells on the scene and on Venzetti were capable of doing enough damage as to kill a human being. In addition to the shells the day of the crime Sacco was not present at his job. Both Sacco and Vanzetti had lied to the jury about what they had done and where they were the day and time of the crime. So much deliberation and speculation took place due to the fact that they seemed innocent. However in reality they were not Sacco and Vanzetti had been following Luigi Guliani who is also an Italinb anarchist who is an Advocate for violence. The two trials that took place took a very long time and had been difficult to come to a desicion and get to the truth. This case was very long and one of the hardest cases I being a CSI investigator had to deal with. For too long i feel it was in Sacco and Vanzettis favor, It was more of trying to help Sacco and Vanzetti there were more witnesses on their side appose to being against them and trying to serve them with their punishment which should have been done earlier. However in 1925 a murderer came clean to talking part in the crime, but attempts to obtain a retrial failed and Sacco and Vanzetti were sentenced to death in 1927.Though opinion remained divided on the men's guilt, most agreed that a retrial was warranted. In 1977 Massachusetts governor Michael Dukakis issued a proclamation stating that Sacco and Vanzetti had not been treated justly.
