Brutal EXECUTION of Ruth Snyder : Electric Chair Capital PUNISHMENT.

One flash of light on one cold January morning in 1928 captured one of the most haunting moments in American history, a moment that would shake the nation and change how it viewed justice.
Following is the story of Ruth Snyder, the first woman sent to the electric chair, and the web of secrets that led to her shocking demise.
Set against the background of the Roaring '20s, Ruth's story unfolds from that of a regular suburban housewife, caught in the throes of a loveless marriage, until behind closed doors it unraveled into forbidden desires and deadly plans. Along with her lover, Judd Gray, a corset salesman, Ruth masterminded the brutal murder of her husband, Albert Snyder, fueled by greed and a heavy insurance policy on her husband's life.
The highly sensationalized trial, "The Dumbbell Murder Case," was a mélange of twists, media frenzy, and moral debates that captivated the nation. It was, however, Ruth's execution at Sing Sing Prison—and that one infamous photograph of her final moment—that seared her story into history in such a way as to raise profound questions about justice, morality, and the death penalty.
Was her fate a case of justice well served, or was it a spectacle for a bloodthirsty society? The story of Ruth Snyder makes us confront the darker sides of human nature, societal pressures, and our stance on capital punishment.
