La última ejecución pública de Estados Unidos dejó 20.000 testigos y una ciudad avergonzada: así fue el ahorcamiento de 1936 que cambió la historia

World 1 source 1 country 🔦 Under-reported 7m ago

In 1936, the United States carried out its last public execution by hanging in Owensboro, Kentucky, drawing 20,000 witnesses and leaving the city deeply ashamed, an event that ultimately changed American history.

This historical precedent has resurfaced in public discourse following an announcement by the Pentagon, confirmed by NPR, that it plans to live-stream the execution of Nidal Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist convicted of the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting. The decision has formally reignited national debates regarding capital punishment and the visibility of state-sanctioned executions.
