Coming Halloween 2007!
Executed Today is a blog of history, sociology, biography, criminology, law, and kismet — an unrepresentative but arresting view of the human condition across time and circumstance from the parlous vantage of the scaffold. This blog will each day chronicle an historical execution that took place on this date, and the story behind it. (More.)
It’s about to launch alive! Check back soon daily — or better yet, subscribe by RSS or e-mail.

This whole concept is warped, perverted and unncivilized. It’s fabulous.

There was someone at the University of Alabama, who tried to research the history of every DP case in the US (I think including colonial times). I don’t think he was part of the faculty.
Do you know who he was and what happened to his research?

That would be the Espy file. Quite an undertaking.
The data is online at the Death Penalty Information Center. They also have a somewhat more robust database of all modern (post-1976) executions.
