   Samuel Shepard, Walter Irvin, Charles Greenlee, and Ernest Thomas,   
   known as the Groveland Four, were accused of raping a white woman in   
   1949. At the age of 17, Norma Padgett informed police she had been   
   abducted and raped by four men. Greenlee, Irvin, and Shepard were   
   charged, jailed, and beaten on the night of their arrest.   
   Subsequently, an all-white jury sentenced 16-year-old Greenlee to   
   life in prison, while Irvin and Shepard, both World War II veterans,   
   received the death penalty. Unlike the other three men, Ernest   
   Thomas was shot to death before he could be charged or tried for the   
   alleged crime. Prior to his death, Thomas was “hunted for more than   
   30 hours . . . by an armed, deputized posse of approximately 1,000   
   men with bloodhounds.”   
      
   Got his black raping ass too.
