    You scoundrel! law.jrank.org/pages/2780/Charles-Becker-Trials-1912-14.html And there are plenty of photographs relating to his trial, conviction and punishment here: www.flickr.com/search/?q=Becker&w=8623220@N02

    The guilty verdict in Becker's original trial was overturned by an appeals court in 1913, but a retrial found him guilty again. He was the only policeman in U. S. history to die in the electric chair.

John Becker (LOC)

  • Wystan said:
    Could he have been related to Charles Becker, the disgraced New York policeman who was executed for murder, at Sing Sing Prison? Charles Becker was being retried in April, 1914.

Becker Jury (LOC)

  • J Manfre said:
    Presumably the trial of Charles Becker, which took place in 1912. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Becker Charles Becker (July 26, 1870 – July 30, 1915) was a New York City police officer in the 1890s-1910s and who was tried, convicted and executed for ordering the murder of a Manhattan gambler, Herman Rosenthal in the Becker-Rosenthal trial. Becker was the first American police officer to receive the death penalty for murder. The scandal that surrounded his arrest, conviction, and execution was one of the most important in Progressive Era New York in the 1890s to 1910s.
