There are many similarities and differences between the movie and the podcast. A couple similarities is that the boys of both case were of the same race. Both stories happen in Alabama twenty years apart. Also they both had lawyers from New York. As many criminals want to do is that they want to appeal their case. For both rape cases they appealed many times. Then the differences of these stories are that there were 9 Scottsboro boys and only 1 Wily Magee. The nine Scottsboro boys all were set free and or escaped prison. Wily Magee sadly died by the electric chair. The most important difference is that the Scottsboro boys had the communist party to back them up, and that’s how they were let free. Wily Magee had no help or support besides a couple lawyers. The town’s people during Wily Magee’s time seem to be really happy about this electric chair execution. There I just gave you a couple similarities and difference about the Scottsboro boys and Wily Magee.
