AI notes: Albert Fish, the notorious American serial killer, child rapist, and cannibal, was sentenced to death on March 25, 1935, in New York. He had been convicted of the murder of 10-year-old Grace Budd, whose abduction and murder had horrified the public. Fish’s crimes were infamous for their sadistic and grotesque nature, including letters he sent to the families of his victims detailing his acts. After his sentencing, he was executed by electric chair at Sing Sing Prison on January 16, 1936. His case remains one of the most chilling examples of early 20th-century American criminal history.
