Which of the following explains the decision in the Sacco and Vanzetti Trial? The American public's aggressive pushes for a guilty verdict poisoned the jury. The judge was able to hand down a just verdict despite Red Scare hysteria. The anti-immigrant sentiments of the time swayed the judge and led to a guilty verdict. The two men were rightly convicted for their acts of wrongdoing.

I did a quick google search and I found that these men were Italian Immigrants. The judge gave a guilty verdict and denied any appeals. The appeals were made since some people believed they was innocent so it's not A. This took place before the Cold War (and World War 2) so it's not the Red Scare. I think many people suspected the judge held "Anti-immigrant bias" so I believe the 3rd option makes the most sense.
