 | | On March 30, the Scottsboro Boys were indicted by a grand jury, and in April all were convicted and sentenced to death, except for one thirteen year old boy, who was sentenced to life in prison. |
 | | Despite the fact Ruby Bates appeared in court and denied that she was ever raped, the Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the convictions of seven of the boys in March, 1932. |
 | | The case of the Scottsboro Boys arose in Alabama during the 1930s, when nine black teenagers, none older than twenty-one, were accused of raping two white women (Victoria Price and Ruby Bates) on a train. |
