You gotta go back 79 years? No innocents since put to death? Heck, even the Sacco and Vanzetti matter was not clearcut. In June 1927, in a final attempt to save the lives of the two men, supporters petitioned Massachusetts Governor Alvan Fuller to commute the death sentence. Fuller appointed an advisory committee headed by Harvard president Abbott Lawrence Lowell to review the entire case. The Lowell Committee interviewed 102 witnesses in addition to those from the trial. After two months, the committee upheld the conviction and concluded that Sacco and Vanzetti had a fair trial.
