Question

Which of the following was evidence to support Vanzetti's innocence during the Braintree robbery and double murder trial?

No witness claimed to see Vanzetti during the shooting.

Witnesses placed Vanzetti elsewhere during the crime.

Vanzetti feared for his safety and that of his friends.

Vanzetti's gun had not been used in the shooting.

Answer 1

The police took Sacco and Vanzetti into custody primarily on the basis of two pieces of evidence. Sacco owned a pistol of the type used in the murders, and the men were arrested at a garage attempting to reclaim a repaired automobile that had been seen in the vicinity of the South Braintree crime scene. Sacco and Vanzetti knew very little English and gave confusing and false answers during their interrogation, which diminished their credibility.

Sacco and Vanzetti were indicted on September 11, 1920, for the murders and the Robbery. The trial began on May 31, 1921, before Judge Webster Thayer. The defendants were represented by Fred Moore, who had been hired on their behalf by the recently formed American Civil Liberties Union.

Eyewitness testimony at the trial was contradictory. A few witnesses gave detailed descriptions of Sacco and Vanzetti, but on cross-examination many of the details proved inaccurate. Several defense witnesses testified that Sacco had been in Boston at the time of the murders.
