Men who were lynched more than a century ago are innocent, judge finds

Associated Press  

CULPEPER, Va. — Three Black men who were lynched by mobs in Virginia during the 1800s and early 1900s have been declared innocent by a judge. The Washington Post reported Friday that the men were Charles Allie Thompson, William Thompson and William Grayson. Circuit Court Judge Dale B. Durrer on Monday found that the men “were and remain to this day innocent of their charges” because they were denied due process. Not just to families, but to the community.” Charles Allie Thompson was lynched in 1918 after a white woman accused him of rape.
