Was Leo Frank innocent or guilty?

When you have even the Klan questioning your bullshit, you KNOW you done fucked up.

 

[George Costanza™]

100% guilty. Any amount of looking into the case will show holes in Frank's story, the trying to pin evidence on others and next to no defence.

I find it fascinating that the people who are willing to assign blame for a violent murder rape of a young white girl to a Jew with no past criminal record over a black man with a history of criminal behavior are the same people who repeat 1352 as if its a mantra. a little consistency would be nice, is all I'm asking

they shoulda just killed em both to be sure

 

[Captain Chromosome]

Leo was sus, but it really does seem (in retrospect and with more info regarding Conley's testimony) that he was innocent. Wild.

I think if Frank wasn't a carpetbagger they absolutely would have convicted the black guy.

Idk man, if the KKK didn't believe that the black guy with a criminal record did it well that alone should tell you leo was guilty.

From what I was reading, Conley's testimony was full of holes, especially regarding his story of how he moved Mary's body. The elevator apparently wasn't able to operate in the way he described having moved her.
The note paper used for the supposed confession notes were outdated and identical sheets were found in the basement, but not Frank's office.
Also, Conley's defense attorney eventually became convinced his client did it and supplied evidence for Frank's defense team.

I don't think we'll ever have 100% certainty, and Frank was and remains sus, but it really does seem like Conley did it. I don't for a second believe Leo had no knowledge of this, though.

Ah yes, the nigger pulled off the crime of the decade and got away with it in that era of the South, because he was just that smart.

Oh, and he never bragged about it like every other nigger in the universe who gets away with such a thing.

I thought that wasn't how defence attorneys were supposed to operate.

That's all pretty weak stuff if you read the details. The elevator thing is particularly memeworthy. Apparently there was a pile of excrement and some other junk at the bottom of the elevator shaft, because employees would throw stuff down there and some of the black employees would use it as a toilet. The cops took the junk as potential evidence during their investigation, and noticed obvious drag marks coming out of the elevator, leading them to believe that Mary's body was transported via the elevator. Later the cops used the elevator and squished the shit. Therefore, the defense argued that Conley and Frank could not have used the elevator to transport Mary's body, as Conley claimed. Except they could have just stopped the elevator a little bit early (eg. to unload a heavy object), or the elevator could have stopped by hitting the other junk at the bottom of the elevator shaft. Or someone else could have pooped in the elevator shaft later. But they got up in court and railed "IF THE SHIT AIN'T SQUISHED, YOU MUST ACQUIT". It didn't work.

The notepaper was apparently a gay op by Frank's private investigators. They got up to all sorts of crazy stuff, like trying to plant a bloody shirt on the night watchman, swapping out the notepaper, and coercing testimony from employees,

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

If more people pointed out that the ADL was founded to pin the rape and murder of a little white girl on a black guy, I think the organization might lose some steam.

Leo Frank was guilty as shit.

 

[Chunky Salsa]

That jew was guilty as fuck lmao.

 

[bile demon]

Guilty of being Jewish; the gravest crime there is.

 

[Bonesjones]

If they would have killed him for looking like that all those girls wouldn't have been molested or killed

 

[HodgePodgeRogerDodger]

Didn’t his wife and most of the Jewish community in Georgia basically admit he was a creepy fuck and refused to come to his aid?

 

[Sargon's wife's son]

By all standards set forth by the US constitution he was 100% guilty he was just friends with the governor that little shekel goblin should have hung from the noose till he's dead

 

[Ayana Otonashi]

is this even a question?

(guilty)

 

[The Hardest R]

Didn’t his wife and most of the Jewish community in Georgia basically admit he was a creepy fuck and refused to come to his aid?

He also had a reputation for treating the girls in the pencil factory as his own personal harem. So add “pedophile” to the list of things he was, including murderer.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

I'm trying to remember this funny ai video that I saw months ago with Leo Frank. Does anyone have it?
