April 21, 1951 - Darryl Richley
One of four men convicted in a murder carried out before the victim's family, Richley's case became part of a notable Arkansas capital punishment record. The crime's domestic setting and the number of perpetrators involved drew sustained legal attention, with proceedings continuing through appeals for years afterward.
From Wikipedia
Donald Lehman (1933 – January 8, 1981) was an American man who was murdered in front of his family by four men in Arkansas. All four men – James William Holmes, Hoyt Franklin Clines, Michael Orndorff, and Darryl Richley – were convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death, albeit Orndorff's sentence was reduced to life without parole on appeal. The other three were all executed one by one on August 3, 1994. It was the first triple execution in the United States since 1962 and the first in the post-Gregg v. Georgia modern era.
