A guy tried to assassinate FDR and accidentally or maybe on purpose hit the Mayor of Miami instead, they tried him and executed him only a week or so after the Mayor died.

Giuseppe Zangara (September 7, 1900 – March 20, 1933) was the assassin of Chicago mayor Anton Cermak, though United States President–elect Franklin D. Roosevelt may have been his intended target.[1] Roosevelt escaped injury, but five people were shot including Cermak.

Crime on February 15th, execution on March 20th. No-one denied him his right to a speedy trial.
