I know the 30s were a horrible racist time... but why did no one think that John Coffey crying over the girls' bodies wasn't the actions of a killer and rapist??

Because he said I didn't mean it and tried to take it back without clarifying what he meant. Even Paul thought so from the report until he saw the vision

Yeah, in minds of the search party, what Coffey said sounded like a confession...or close enough to brand Coffey as a murderer and child rapist.

mechahutaro, if you have nothing useful to say, go away, please
And as for you two, Strannger18 and Dark_Sithlord, aren't rapists often mentioned to show no remorse afterwards? I mean, I find your responses interesting, but yeah...

I'm not a psychologist, so I can't comment about rapists feeling remorse or no remorse afterwards. But as I mentioned, when you have a mob of men who are looking at the bodies of 2 dead little girls, and given what Coffey just said, the mob probably thought it was close enough to a confession that it justified any actions they might take against Coffey. The men, most likely family men, were already emotional and afraid, and the situation was volatile...wouldn't take much to escalate it into something really ugly. It would have taken an extremely calm, rational, and educated man to have stopped the mob and said, "Look, the man is crying...he can't be the murderer".

Hmm, it's just I've heard people who've said they were raped in the past that their attacker had no remorse

That's much better, and yes, good points all round!
