NOTE
I apologize; due to personal matters over the past few months, I have been less active in creating and revising articles than I normally am. I fully intend to get more involved in the next month or two (as of January 2024).

Good Articles!

Major Contributions to Death Penalty Articles

Essentially articles that I more or less rewrote or nearly constructed in their entirety. Usually, these were stubs that I fleshed out with in-text citations, more detail, and occasionally photos.

Notes regarding this section:

^ This article was one sentence (followed by several citations) before I fleshed it out with more text and citations. However, in July 2024, it was determined that Hardy was not a significant enough crime figure or historical figure to warrant having his own article (especially because the sole basis for his article, that he was the final person subjected to a public execution in the United States, was false), so the article was deleted.

PLANNED Major Contributions

The current order in which these are listed is simply the order in which I added them to the table - i.e. the top ones were added earliest.

Name	State	Date of Execution	Brief Synopsis	Article Issues
Aaron Mitchell	California	1967-04-12	Aaron Mitchell was the last person to be executed in California before the nationwide moratorium in 1972, and he was the next to last person in the United States overall. He was executed for murdering a police officer.	The article has very few sources or details; I know there is PLENTY out there about him. It definitely needs to be both fleshed out AND reorganized.
Tony Paretti	New York	1927-02-17	Tony Paretti was a gangster who was active in New York until the time of his execution. I honestly wonder if he is a notable enough figure to deserve his own article, even considering that he had connections to a lot of notable figures in New York's organized crime scene.	Nevertheless, his page is a stub; there appear to be a lot of references, but there is very little information on the page relative to what a start-class article might include.
David Dewayne Johnson	Arkansas	2000-12-19	David Johnson was executed in Arkansas for murdering 67-year-old Leon Brown. His execution was not a historical landmark.	(Honestly not sure if he's notable enough to warrant having his own article, but it's here, so I'd might as well.) This is in a much better state than most of the articles here, but it could still use some fleshing out, many more sources, and in-text citations to replace the general ones.
Eddie Lee Mays	New York	1963-08-15	Eddie Lee Mays was the last person to be executed in the history of New York. Like Ralph Hudson and Elmer Brunner, he was executed in a state that no longer has the death penalty, meaning that he is highly unlikely to ever have successors. He was executed for his involvement in a stick-up murder, wherein he shot and murdered a customer of a restaurant, Maria Marini, for not retrieving her money for him quickly enough.	This page just barely escapes being a stub. As it stands now, it has four citations, which isn't terrible, but it could be better. It needs to be fleshed out and given some more citations.
George and Michael Krull	Federal/Georgia	1957-08-23	George and Michael Krull were siblings who were executed for kidnapping and raping a woman in Georgia. Because they transported her across state lines, they were eligible for the federal death penalty and executed in Georgia (which also carried the death penalty for rape at the time) under a federal death warrant.	The article is a stub with four citations. It could use more citations and more fleshing out, especially considering that it contains two infoboxes for each sibling. (I also feel like there is a way to discuss Michael Krull's observation that "When your local people commit rape they get just 10 or 20 years sometime" - especially in light of the fact that Georgia's death penalty history is notoriously rife with racism that particularly affected its rape cases in the 20th century.)
Oscar Comery	New Hampshire	1916-02-08	The third to last person executed in New Hampshire, and one of only three in the 20th century. (The other two, Frederick Small (1918) and Howard Long (1939), actually have Wikipedia articles, too; they are fully fleshed out.)	The article is a stub.
Sam Cardinelli	Illinois	1921-04-15	He was a Chicago-based gang leader who was ultimately executed for the murder of saloon owner Andrew P. Bowman. (Interestingly, after his execution, his family allegedly tried to have him revived. As I've heard similar stories about other notorious executed killers, I'll have to check on the veracity of that.)	The article has zero in-line citations, and the tone is kind-of sensationalist. It doesn't look like it has been updated much since 2010/2011.

(For my own convenience, the format for the table above:

| NAMEofSUBJECT || STATE || DOE || METHOD || SYNOPSIS || ISSUES |-

Potential Future Death Penalty-Related Articles

Added in order of when I think to include them. I'll remove each name as they receive articles, or if I decide not to create one for that particular person. My priorities are cases with injustice, followed by serial killers (only because those tend to be noteworthy enough to resist challenges related to their notability - I personally don't have much of an interest in serial killers, but I want to help with the WikiProject for it).

Top Priorities are marked with an asterisk.

Name	State	Date of Execution	Short description	Justification of notability
James Willis Cobern	Alabama	1964-09-04	James Cobern was executed for breaking into a woman's house and robbing her. (He also sexually assaulted and murdered the victim, but he was only ever convicted for the robbery, which is what makes his execution a landmark.) He was the last person to be executed in the United States not just for robbery, but for any non-murder crime.	Cobern's execution was a historical landmark; in addition, I've seen a lot of misinformation about his case, including sooooo many people who misspell his name. I feel that a Wikipedia article could address those issues.
John Snowden*	Maryland	1919-02-28	He is largely believed to have been innocent today. His arrest, trial, and execution were rife with racism. He was convicted of murdering Lottie Mae Brandon in her home on August 8, 1917; police extracted a confession from him by brutally beating him for several hours.	This case is noteworthy enough to earn its own page on the official website of the State of Maryland (Here - John Snowden MSA). His case still generates conversation to this day. He was also one of very few executed inmates in the United States to receive a posthumous pardon.
Alpha Otis O'Daniel Stephens	Georgia	1984-12-28	He was executed for murdering Roy Asbell during an attempt to rob him. What made his case particularly noteworthy was his inclusion in an NPR story 16 years after his execution, as his execution was recorded in its entirety on audio tape. His execution was also horrifically botched, to the point of being one of Georgia's main motivators to switch to lethal injection as a method of execution.	I feel like the NPR story, as well as the many articles written about his case at the time of his execution, warrant him receiving his own article. As a staunch death penalty opponent, I would also like to alert the people out there about how the electric chair essentially tortured him to death while he was conscious; the state Supreme Court ruling that abolished electrocution in Georgia, Dawson v. State (2001), goes into some detail. His execution pokes holes into the myth that the electric chair reliably renders inmates unconscious in 1/240th of a second.
Eugene LaMoore*	Alaska	1950-04-14	He was executed for robbing a store and murdering the storeowner. His co-defendant, Austin Nelson, was executed two years prior, on March 1, 1948.	He was the last person executed in the Alaskan territory prior to them abolishing the death penalty. (Alaska never carried out an execution as a state.) As LaMoore was black, his case also raised questions regarding the racial disparity in the death penalty's application in Alaska, as the territory executed black and Native American murderers at an extremely disproportionate rate compared to white murderers.
James Dukes	Illinois	1962-08-24	He was executed for the murder of Detective John Blyth.	He was the final person executed in Illinois prior to their death penalty moratorium.
Brian Keith Terrell*	Georgia	2015-12-08	He was executed for the murder of John Henry Watson in 1995.	There is a lot of evidence that Terrell may not have been the perpetrator in the crime and that he was a victim of the racially biased legal system in Georgia. His execution was also slightly botched.
Nelson Charles*	Alaska	1939-11-10	He was executed for the murder of Cecelia Johnson, his mother-in-law.	His case was fairly controversial at the time due to Charles's history of mental illness and addiction, as well as the racial disparities in Alaska's death penalty system, which tended to target Native American and black murderers more than white murderers. (Charles was Native American.)
Frank Henry Burness	New York	1904-06-27	He was executed for murdering a man; I'm pretty sure that sometime before his execution, he confessed to several other murders committed on prior occasions.	This was a moderately notable case at the time, but the other murders on prior occasions seem to qualify Burness being classified as a serial killer. Adding his article could help out with that WikiProject related to serial killers.
Lauren Porter	Georgia	1947-04-25	He (yes, he) was executed for the murder of his neighbor, William Roderic Cofer; I think the motive was robbery/burglary.	I've only ever seen one source on this, and I somewhat doubt the validity of the source based on other mistakes I've seen from the same author, but Porter was allegedly responsible for about 4-5 other scattered and somewhat random murders in his area a few years prior to Cofer's murder - thus classifying Porter as a serial killer (if I can find other information to confirm this, and if not, I will delete him from my page because he isn't noteworthy enough to receive an article otherwise). I also feel that it is worth mentioning (here, not on his page) that the name "Lauren" used to be more masculine/male-coded than it is today.
Jack Trawick*	Alabama	2009-06-11	He was executed for the murder of Stephanie Gach, who, prior the murder, he did not know.	He was a self-confessed serial killer. He admitted to murdering at least four women. Especially as a modern one, he definitely deserves his own article.
Marie Porter (murderer)	Illinois	1938-01-28	Don't know much about the murder she committed, either, but I know it involved her brother-in-law, and she hired a hitman who was executed alongside her.	I'm iffy about this one, but since executions of women have been so rare in this country (they make up approximately 3% of all executions, including ~1% of modern executions since 1976), I think that gives her some degree of notability. ...Maybe. (I also think she was the only woman executed in Illinois in the 20th century; I think she may have been the final execution of a woman in Illinois.)
Earl Gardner (murderer)*	Federal/Arizona	1936-07-12	Not 100% sure, but I think he murdered his wife? I know Gardner was a member of the Apache Nation, so I'm assuming that he murdered her on a reservation, thus making it a federal case. He was executed by the U.S. federal government in Arizona.	Gardner was hanged at a time when Arizona had already fully transitioned to using the gas chamber to carry out executions. Back when he was executed, federal executions were required to be carried out by hanging regardless of the method that a state had adopted and grown accustomed to using (which explained why, for instance, James Alderman was hanged in Florida despite Florida having used the electric chair for 5 years). Gardner's hanging was so notoriously, horrifically botched and mishandled, that it inspired federal authorities to amend the laws regarding the methods that states could use. Federal executions from then on out were carried out with the method that each state was used to utilizing, which, considering the sheer number of botched executions by other methods, is like placing a bandage on a bullet wound. But anyway, Gardner's was the last under the mandated hanging statute.
G. Phil Hanna*	N/A	N/A	N/A - wouldn't say he committed a crime, although I think his line of work should be illegal.	Not a person who was executed this time, but a very famous executioner who was active in the American Midwest in the early 20th century. Considering that less prolific executioners have pages on Wikipedia, I think Hanna might deserve one as well.
Vincent Ciucci	Illinois	1962-03-23	He was executed for murdering his wife and children. (You could class him as a mass murderer.)	This was an extremely notorious case at its time; this may have gotten more press than James Morelli, who, by virtue of notoriety alone, absolutely earned his own article. Ciucci also postponed his execution for 7 years (which, at the time of his execution, was nearly unprecedented). Arguably, all of Illinois's final three executions before the death penalty moratorium were massive press events deserving of their own articles.
Richard Carpenter (criminal)	Illinois	1958-12-19	He was executed for murdering Chicago police detective William J. Murphy.	One of Illinois's last three executions, this was a massive press event on a similar level as Vincent Ciucci. One only has to Google his name to see that there has been plenty written about him already. This case is long overdue an article.
Something about the 1926 Will County prison escape? IDK about the title yet	Illinois	1927-07-15 1928-10-10	As far as I know, 7+ inmates escaped from (I THINK) the Stateville Correctional Center near Joliet, and in the process, they murdered the warden, Peter Klein. Four of the inmates were executed. One of them, Charles Shader, was the last person to ever be executed by hanging in Illinois.	This made front-page news at the time that it occurred; I just don't know much about it at all, but the escape attempt, the murder, and its aftermath are definitely noteworthy enough to earn its own article. I'll think of an appropriate title to frame the case once I learn more about it.
Mecklenberg death row escape	Virginia	1984-05-31	Six Virginia death row inmates—Linwood and James Briley, Earl Clanton, Derick Peterson, Willie Leroy Jones, and Lem Tuggle—escaped from death row at the now-closed Mecklenburg Correctional Center in Virginia.	This was very big news when it occurred, and it is the biggest death row escape in American history. I've even seen several documentaries about it. The Mecklenberg Correctional Center page does mention the escape, but I think the escape itself warrants having its own page due to its uniqueness and notoriety.
Lem Tuggle	Virginia	1996-12-??	He was executed for murdering Jessie Havens. Prior to that, he served time in prison for murdering a teenager named Shirley Brickey.	He participated in the Mecklenberg escape, and besides the Briley Brothers, I think he's the only Virginia death row escapee whose notoriety warrants him having his own article. (The others' cases received far less press, and I don't know why.) As an update to this, I still think Lem Tuggle's case was noteworthy enough to warrant an article, but I also think most Mecklenberg escapees had cases noteworthy enough to warrant articles.
Willie Lloyd Turner*	Virginia	1995-05-25	Don't know much about his crime; he was executed for murdering a man during a robbery.	He had a similar role in the Mecklenburg escape as Wilbert Lee Evans, helping guards. Aside from that, Willie Turner was well-known for two big reasons. First, while he was awaiting execution, he lobbied for better treatment and conditions for death row inmates (and, really, inmates in the Virginia Department of Corrections as a whole) by filing several complaints and lawsuits about the cruel treatment inmates received, including having to occupy death watch cells days after other inmates' executions by electric chair and having to be exposed to the smell of burning flesh in the hallways. (Virginia switched to lethal injection shortly before his execution.) Second, after his execution, there was a very highly publicized controversy wherein his attorney reported finding a typewriter in his cell with a loaded gun hidden inside.
Dennis Stockton	Virginia	1995-09-27	Don't know much about his crime, except that he was executed for his part in a murder-for-hire scheme that resulted in the murder of a 17-year-old teenage boy.	While on death row in Virginia, Dennis Stockton wrote very well-publicized journals about day-to-day life on death row; these journals became well-publicized after he released them to the Virginia press. He also revealed information in his journals about the Mecklenburg escape. I've just read so much about him, that it makes it clear that he was a very noteworthy inmate from Virginia's death row in the 1990s.
Earl Clanton	Virginia	1988-04-14	He was sentenced to death and executed for the murder of Wilhelmina Smith in 1980.	He ALSO participated in the Mecklenberg escape - and I regret saying Tuggle's case was the only one besides the Briley case that received noteworthy levels of press; ever since I wrote that, I have found that Clanton got significant amounts of attention before his execution, mostly due to his rehabilitation behind bars (despite the fact that he was executed anyway), Clanton's participation in multiple initiatives to convince young people not to turn to a life of crime, and the fact that an actor who once played the title character in Dennis the Menace lobbied against Clanton's execution. In fact, I could argue that the only one of the six escapees who was likely not notable enough to warrant an article was Willie Leroy Jones, because Derick Lyn Peterson received significant levels of press due to his botched electrocution in 1991.
Bertram Spencer*	Massachusetts	1912-09-17	I have no idea what crime he committed. I know nothing about this case right now.	His case got loads of press and controversy at its time because of Spencer's well-documented struggles with mental illness. (I have no idea what specific mental issues he had.) Given that his execution occurred in 1912, I understand that society's understanding of mental illness probably wasn't all that great, but the amount of press he got warrants him getting an article, as well as some coverage to underscore how executions are still disadvantaging and failing those who struggle with mental illness.

Countries with No Death Penalty Articles (or Stubs)

NOTE: I have a personal project to complete a non-stub article for every country in Africa! Africa is severely underrepresented when it comes to articles covering their countries' histories, particularly their histories with the death penalty. These topics deserve well-formatted, well-structured, and well-sourced articles that avoid resorting to a colonialist or condescending slant in their coverage. If anyone wants to help with this niche project, even if it's just sending me a link to a good source, or even if it's just encouraging me to get started on a particular country, I'd appreciate it greatly!

After I finish Africa, my next priority is South America, followed by Oceania, and then Asia.

I'm very likely going to change my username at some point, but I don't know what I want to change it to, so I guess it'll stay for now.)

If you were to ask me today, Supporting Caste by Propagandhi is my current all-time favorite album. It bests every album in existence in the lyrical, political, and musical departments, hands down, in my opinion. It is the perfect punk rock album. Anyone with even the slightest interest in human rights, equality, animal rights, or just good music in general should listen to it. Ask me anytime for my other recommendations; it's a wide swath of more punk rock, with some hard rock, rap, and metal sprinkled within.

For some quick biographical information – I am in my 20s, I am a cisgender black woman, I am a leftist, and I live in the Deep South in the United States. I'm wildly neurodivergent in several ways (most prominently Au-DHD) and still trying to adjust to life. For one fun fact, I'm a sound-color synesthete born with absolute pitch, which I think explains why I love music so much: music is a vividly colorful experience for me.

Most of my contributions here will concern capital punishment and the death penalty, especially in the United States. That topic is my special interest, and I know way too much about it and individual cases within the subject. I will branch out to creating/editing articles on other countries on a case-by-case basis as I feel more comfortable discussing them and understanding them. I also like creating and editing articles about punk rock bands and albums, glam metal bands and albums, and hard rock bands and albums, although I do those far less frequently. (Music-wise, I think I personally prefer pages dedicated to albums over bands, but I like editing both.)

My position on capital punishment:

In case you must know, I am against the death penalty — a death penalty opponent in 100% of cases. It is unjust, unequal, excessively costly, and a waste of humanity. Every so-called "justified" execution is accompanied by one rife with problems. For my favorite example, the year after Florida executed notorious serial killer Ted Bundy, they executed an innocent man, Jesse Tafero - on top of botching it and setting his head and face on fire while he suffocated to death in the electric chair. His death was most likely agonizing and prolonged. Florida proudly did that to an innocent man.

I feel like the public has a right to know about the horrors done in their names. Wikipedia is scholarly and impartial, so I cannot show my true opinions through the articles - but I do implore you to look further into each active case you come across. (I used to have a long explanation of my position, but I don't really want that here anymore because I'd rather this page focus on my contributions here. But if you really want to know, feel free to ask, or check out the Death Penalty Information Center or the Equal Justice Initiative for some great learning resources.)

[Re:_Deletion_of_Hurt_Hardy_Article-1] This article was one sentence (followed by several citations) before I fleshed it out with more text and citations. However, in July 2024, it was determined that Hardy was not a significant enough crime figure or historical figure to warrant having his own article (especially because the sole basis for his article, that he was the final person subjected to a public execution in the United States, was false), so the article was deleted.
