List of people executed in Georgia (U.S. state) (pre-1972)

Last updated • 1 min readFrom Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

The following is a list of people executed by the U.S. state of Georgia before 1972, when capital punishment was briefly abolished by the Supreme Court's ruling in Furman v. Georgia . For people executed after the restoration of capital punishment by the Supreme Court's ruling in Gregg v. Georgia (1976), see List of people executed in Georgia. [1] [2] [3]

Background

Historically, all executions in Georgia were carried out locally through hanging. On August 6, 1924, the state senate voted 26 to 21 to pass a new law replacing hanging with electrocution, [4] which was signed by the state governor on the 15th. [5] Final tests on the new chair, nicknamed "Old Sparky", installed at the state farm in Milledgeville, were performed on September 12, with a special three-switch mechanism being used as the new protocols stated that "the warden" (of which there were three) had to turn it on; [6] the first execution occurred the following day. [7] After the creation of the new state prison in Reidsville, the state chair was moved there in 1937. [8]

A few hangings were carried out after August 1924 for defendants charged prior to the introduction of electrocution. [9]
