Wealthy people don't get executed. Their lawyers can tie the sentences up in court for decades.

Neither.\nHowever, I find the circumstances in which he died as being interesting.\nBasically, he was in jail for using force to stop a newspaper printing anti Mormon articles, when a mob broke into the jail and killed him.  (But not before he'd shot one of the attackers with a pistol smuggled in for him.)

How is it an easy way out?  Put yourself in the shoes of someone whose very close family member was murdered.  Would you want all the taxpayers in the U.S. to have the burden of keeping that person alive and healthy for however long they live?

Just opening this up to voting but that list is accurate.\n\nLincoln was shot in 1865 and died\nGarfield was shot in 1881 and died\nMcKinley was shot in 1901 and died\nKennedy was shot in 1963 and died\n\nRoosevelt was shot in 1912 while campaigning, delivered his scheduled speech then seeked medical attention.  The doctors determined it was too dangerous to attempt a retraction and Teddy carried the bullet til the day he died (Jan 6, 1919)\n\nReagan was shot by John Hinckley in 1981 and of course survived to not only finish his term but be reelected and serve that full term

Mexico. He was assassinated by Ramon Mercader, August 20, 1940.

He was a young American (21 years old), who was hung by the British for spying against them during the Revolutionary War.  He is famous for his last words: "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."  How did he impact history?  He added his name to that role call of heroes who value the ideals of personal liberty above their own lives.

He WILL be hung, or shot, or whatever way they choose to go about killing him.  An automatic appeal might matter in other cases, but who honestly believes he will be found innocent?  LOL!  I think everyone was happy when they caught him, because we all knew he would pay.  It's no surprise to me that he was found guilty.

Lyndon Baines Johnson (August 27, 1908 – January 22, 1973), often referred to as LBJ, was the 36th President of the United States (1963–1969). After serving a long career in the U.S. Congress, Johnson became the thirty-seventh Vice President; in 1963, he succeeded to the presidency following President John F. Kennedy's assassination. He was a major leader of the Democratic Party and as President was responsible for the passage of key civil rights legislation and Medicare, a major "War on Poverty", as well as the acceleration of the war in Vietnam. He was elected in a landslide in 1964 but his reelection bid in 1968 collapsed as his party fell apart, and he announced that he would not seek re-election.

Yes.  He murdered four people in cold blood.  Volumes of evidence were presented proving his guilt.  Even the 9th Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, proven to be the most liberal, anti-death-penalty court in the nation, could not find sufficient cause to nullify the verdict.  He received his fair trial, his fair appeals process.  He continuously professed his innocence to delay (for nearly 30 years) his sentence, nothing more.  He capitalized on the fact that American society, with it's EXTREMELY short attention span, would forget the horrific crimes he committed.  He gambled on the possibility that we would forget what he did, become desensitized to it, and dismiss the jury's decision overly harsh.  Some arguing in his defense tried to portray the jury as a bunch of racist white rich folks intent on "murdering another innocent black man" (it wasn't all-white, check the record).  Fortunately, all of the right people saw through his charade, and ended his shennanigans, permanently.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, took place on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, USA at 12:30 PM Central Standard Time (18:30 UTC). Kennedy was fatally wounded by gunshots while riding in a presidential motorcade within Dealey Plaza. He was the fourth U.S. President to be assassinated, and the eighth to die while in office.\n\nAn official investigation by the Warren Commission was conducted over a 10-month period, and its report was published in September 1964, concluding that the assassin was Lee Harvey Oswald, an employee of the Texas School Book Depository in Dealey Plaza. A later official investigation by the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) was conducted from 1976 to 1979, and concluded that Oswald probably acted with at least one other person. The assassination is still the subject of widespread speculation, and has spawned a number of Kennedy assassination theories.

Its about time. That man should be rotting in a jail cell instead of trying to make money off of killing two innocent people.
