`A public hanging`
Public executions were not only legal but also a form of entertainment for people across the globe. The United States decided to put a stop to these macabre gatherings in 1936. The last person hanged in the U.S. was Rainey Bethea on August 14, 1936, after having confessed to the rape and murder of a 70-year old woman named Lischia Edwards.
