Yes, they were found guilty. In fact, they were tried many times and each time they got the death penalty. Only the youngest of the group (age 13) was ever pardoned. But they were truly innocent.

Yes, the Scottsboro boys were initially found guilty in their first trial. In 1931, all nine African American boys were convicted by an all-white jury of raping two white women on a train in Alabama. However, their convictions were later overturned and the case became a symbol of racial injustice and unfair legal practices.
