US prisoner who escaped death 8 times dies at 101
Francis Clifford Smith, believed to be the longest-serving prisoner in U.S. history, died at age 101 in Connecticut after 76 years on death row and multiple scheduled executions that were ultimately postponed. Convicted of murder in 1949, he maintained his innocence throughout his life, with evidence against him later questioned and witnesses recanting. His death sentence was commuted to life in prison in 1954, and he was eventually released on parole before his death.
