  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

• Wystan said:

  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.
