July 30, 1943 - Caril Ann Fugate
At fourteen, she became the youngest female in American history sentenced to life in prison, convicted as an accomplice in the 1958 Nebraska killing spree that left eleven people dead. Her exact role alongside Charles Starkweather has remained contested for decades — whether willing participant or coerced captive — making her case one of the more legally and morally unresolved chapters of mid-century American crime.
