Gary Gilmore
Gary Gilmore was an American man executed in Utah in 1977, notable for being the first person to be executed in the United States after the death penalty was reinstated following a ten-year moratorium. His case gained national attention when he voluntarily waived his appeals and chose to be executed by firing squad, famously stating, 'Let's do it' as his last words. His execution sparked significant public debate about the death penalty and its ethical implications.
