Rubicon - Part II about Capital Punishment and Update on Amber Guyger's release
The methods America has used to execute its criminals have changed over the years, from burning to drawing and quartering to hanging.
Criminals have been axed, crucified, buried alive, pressed with weights, stoned, impaled, starved, decapitated, and gibbeted.
Gibbeted is the hanging of the condemned man by chains to rot.
Death often takes weeks to occur.
Today, the breakdown of execution methods looks like this.
Seventeen states use lethal injection.
The electric chair is employed in fifteen states.
Lethal gas is the choice in seven states.
Three states still hang their condemned, and two states execute prisoners by firing squad.
As of 1987, Florida led the nation with two hundred and seventy-seven inmates awaiting death.
Texas was second with two hundred and fifty-seven, and California was third with two hundred and nineteen.
The youngest person facing death was sixteen years old.
In the United States, public executions occasionally led to violence among the crowd and senseless tragedy for a few unfortunate witnesses.
Nearly twenty thousand people showed up to watch the hanging death of-
... a black man accused of raping a white woman.
