James French (murderer)
James D. French (ca. 1936 – 10 August 1966) was an American criminal who was the last person executed under Oklahoma's death penalty laws prior to ''Furman v. Georgia'', which suspended capital punishment in America from 1972 until 1976. He was also the only prisoner executed in the United States that year.〔Staff report. (Feb. 17, 1967) (The Dying Death Penalty. ) ''Time''〕 Already in prison for life for killing a motorist who had picked him up from hitchhiking in 1958, but allegedly afraid to commit suicide, French murdered his cellmate, apparently to compel the state to execute him.〔van Wormer, Katherine (12/8/1995). Execution-inspired murder a form of suicide? ''Journal of Offender Rehabilitation'' Volume: 22 Issue: 3/4〕
French's last words before his death by electric chair were "How's this for your headline? 'French Fries'".〔Tibballs, Geoff (2004). ''The Mammoth Book of Zingers, Quips, and One-Liners.'' Carroll & Graf. ISBN 978-0-7867-1407-0〕
This was the last execution by electric chair in the United States before ''Furman v. Georgia''; after the moratorium on capital punishment was lifted, the first electrocution was John Spenkelink in 1979 in Florida.
