Synopsis:

No french review yet:
Lena Baker was an African American maid who was executed for murder by the State of Georgia in 1945 for killing her employer, Ernest Knight. At her trial she claimed that he had imprisoned and threatened to shoot her should she attempt to leave, whereupon she took his gun and shot him. Although Knight was not liked in the town, a white man had been killed by a black woman, something that was intolerable to the segregationist townsfolk Lena Baker was charged with capital murder and stood trial on August 14, 1944. The all-white male jury convicted her and she was sentenced to death. In the 2000s, members of her family petitioned to have a pardon granted by the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles, seeing the original verdict as racist. This was granted in 2005, with the Parole Board suggesting a verdict of manslaughter would have been more appropriate.
