Just terrible, and I can only imagine how Juanita felt, her fear and trembling while she waited for certain death. <br />Thank you, Paisley, for the story.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-59890928615664556482013-06-02T11:03:14.453-05:002013-06-02T11:03:14.453-05:00What a shame that Juanita was hanged, with or with...What a shame that Juanita was hanged, with or without a trial. And when men say "all men are created equal" thy seldom mean mankind to include women. I used this sort of injustice in one of my recent books. I think it happened more often than we know.
