April 29th: The Execution of Clayton Lockett (2014)

There are many arguments about the pros and cons of the death penalty. But, no matter where you lie on the fence with your opinion, we can all agree that a lethal injection lasting 43 minutes, where the subject writhed in pain and gasped for his life, is inhuman. On April 29th 2014 Clayton Lockett’s execution would take place and, when it was all said and done, would leave a lasting impression and possibly change the opinions of those who are pro-death penalty.

April 27th: Ronald Adrin Gray’s First Victim (1986)

There is the common theory that, if someone has had a rough beginning, sending them off to the military has a good chance of straightening them out. A man named Ronald Adrin Gray enlisted in the military, after a rocky start to his life, when he was just 18. But, despite the good that the military has to offer to some, all this move did was give him a chance to unleash a sudden reign of terror in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

April 26th: Mary Phagan Killed(1913)

Sometimes, a person’s prejudice gets in the way of their better judgment. On April 26th 1913 a 13 year old girl was killed and, despite overwhelming evidence proving it was someone else, a Jewish man was brought to justice for the crime. And, when the people of Atlanta, Georgia felt the man didn’t get his just desserts, they took the law into their own hands.

April 25th: Peter Madsen Convicted (2018)

When you hear about a victim, especially a young one, you can’t help but think of all the things they would have accomplished had their lives not been taken away. On April 25th 2018 a man was convicted for the death of a female reporter that, there was no doubt, would have accomplished incredible things had she been given more time on this earth.

April 24th: Steven Gerald James Wright Born (1958)

We hear stories time and time again where, due to the choices a person makes, they can be judged unfairly. And this doesn’t end with death. This is why cases where the victims are drug addicts or sex workers tend to take longer to solve. On April 24th 1958 a man was born who would take the lives of women who earned their living through sex work. Women who, despite the justice system’s opinion, deserve rights and action to keep them safe and off the streets.

April 23rd: Rodney Reed Kills? (1996)

DNA has helped to solve thousands of cases over the years. We rely heavily on it as a piece of evidence and it has the potential to solve an unsolvable case. However, the presence of DNA, and how it got there, can be misinterpreted. On April 23rd 1996 a white woman was killed and on her body was the DNA belonging to a black male. And while the DNA was enough to convict, there remains the question of how it got there.

April 22nd: Morris Soloman Jr. Apprehended (1987)
What happens if police know who the killer is, or at least have a pretty good idea, but don’t have the evidence to arrest? That person gets to walk free and, in this case, take more victims. On April 22nd 1987 police finally had enough evidence to arrest the Sacramento Slayer.
