(en) Willie McGee (fallecido en 1951) fue un afroamericano de Laurel, Misisipi, quien fue sentenciado a muerte en 1945 por el cargo presunto de violación a un ama de casa blanca. En una época en la cual el racismo en Estados Unidos era muy marcado, especialmente en el sur, el resultado del primer juicio a McGee en diciembre de 1940 fue efectivamente pre-ordenado. Duró sólo un día, y un jurado compuesto completamente por ciudadanos blancos lo encontró culpable luego de dos minutos y medio de deliberación. (es)
