Detailed explanation-1: -Sacco and Vanzetti, in full Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, defendants in a controversial murder trial in Massachusetts, U.S. (1921–27), that resulted in their executions. The trial resulted from the murders in South Braintree, Massachusetts, on April 15, 1920, of F.A.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sacco and Vanzetti were charged with committing robbery and murder at the Slater and Morrill shoe factory in South Braintree. On the afternoon of April 15, 1920, payroll clerk Frederick Parmenter and security guard Alessandro Berardelli were shot to death and robbed of over $15, 000 in cash.

Detailed explanation-3: -When four Italian men came for the car on the evening of May 5, 1920, the garage owner’s wife called police and warned the four men not to drive the car as it lacked current license plates. Later that evening, police arrested two of the men, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, on a streetcar in Brockton.

Detailed explanation-4: -Despite worldwide demonstrations in support of their innocence, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti are executed for murder on August 23, 1927.

Detailed explanation-5: -No indictment was sought for this crime against Sacco, as his employer’s records proved he was at work the day of the attempted robbery in Bridgewater. Judge Thayer presided at Vanzetti’s trial. The jury convicted him, and Judge Thayer sentenced him to 12 to 15 years, a harsh sentence.
