The Sacco and Vanzetti Case (Overview)http//www.
english.upenn.edu/afilreis/88/sacvan.html--writt
en by Robert D'Attilio

• This site gives an overview of the case proper
  for both those who are unfamiliar and familiar
  with the case. It does not focus on the guilt or
  innocence of the two men as much as the
  unfairness of their trial. It emphasizes the
  political significance and what the trial meant
  not only in the US, but around the world.

Greatest Trials of All Time The Trial of Sacco
and Vanzettihttp//www.courttv.com/greatesttrials
/sacco.vanzetti/

• This site breaks down story of Sacco and Vanzetti
  into three parts. The trial, the fight to save
  them and their legacy. As with other sites, this
  does focuses on the legal tactics used by both
  the prosecution and the defense, and not the
  guilt or innocence of the two men. It also
  incorporates the effects on modern day America,
  including Sacco and Vanzetti day in
  Massachusetts.

FBI - Freedom of Information Act - Sacco/Vanzetti
Casehttp//foia.fbi.gov/vanzetti.htm

• This is the most interesting site in my opinion.
  If you wanted to, you could go over all 2,189
  pages the FBI has filed on Sacco and Vanzetti.
  On the opening page, they interestingly claim
  that, Many people believed these men were
  wrongly convicted I find the way that they
  state this intriguing and wonder where the FBI
  stands on the opinion of whether or not the two
  men were wrongly convicted.

The Sacco and Vanzetti Trialhttp//www.angelfire.
com/co/pscst/sandv.html

• This site discusses the trial and its injustices
  in brief. The main focus of the page is the
  political affiliation and actions of Sacco and
  Vanzetti as anarchists. It discusses some of
  their actions and makes an attempt to prove the
  innocence of at least Vanzetti, if not Sacco as
  well.
