Mayor Anton Cermak was shot by Giuseppe Zangara on Feb 15, 1933.

He met his date with “OLD SPARKY” on On March 20, 1933, thirty five days later. He spent exactly TEN DAYS, not twenty years, on death row.

This is the way it should be today.

From Wikipedia:

"Cermak died of peritonitis 19 days later, on March 6, 1933, two days after Roosevelt’s inauguration."

When the victim is in the legal profession or a politician, execution is swift. Otherwise the killers do tend to linger for decades.
