Record number of executions
In 2016, the State of Georgia executed nine people. This set a record for the most executions conducted in Georgia in a calendar year. Prior to this, the most executions conducted in the state were five executions. This happened in 1987 and again in 2015.
Prior to 1976
- Lena Baker was an African American maid who was executed on 5 March 1945, for killing her employer. In 2005, the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles granted a pardon saying a verdict of manslaughter would have been more appropriate.
- The first individual electrocuted for a crime and sentenced to death (in Georgia) was Howard Henson, a black male, for rape and robbery; by electrocution on 13 September 1924, in DeKalb County.
