Summary

May 25th: John Spenkelink Executed (1979) I feel like I have done a lot of stories recently that bring up the debate of the death penalty. And this, is yet another that will leave you wondering, or in some cases, second guessing the practice. On May 25th 1979 a man was executed in a Florida prison. A man who, as some would argue, suffered a brutal last day on earth that did not fit the crime he committed.
