Item Description
1.75" with back paper by Los Angeles maker Achievement Badge & Trophy Co. Full text is "Justicia Para Juan Corona." In 1971 Corona was convicted of the 1971 murders of 25 itinerant laborers found buried in shallow graves in the orchards of Sutter County, California. At the time these crimes represented the worst and most notorious serial murders in U.S. history. Button probably dates from just prior to a second trial he was given in 1982 where he failed to win acquittal and was returned to prison to serve out 25 life sentences. Couple of faint hairline scratches in reflected light but still displays Mint.
