I understand and I hope you'll forgive my nitpicking. It's just that when I read the paragraph with the Sacco & Vanzetti reference, I got the vibe of something in the lines "look what else the Italians were doing" and that rubbed me the wrong way. I would have much preferred something like "were _wrongly_ indicted of", to avoid the misunderstanding. I hope this comment will be taken not as a void critique by somebody who got offended, but as a reminder that phrasing is important to not to have your writings be interpreted the other way around.
