Reply to comment by tetoffens in TIL the term "death row" comes from an assassination attempt on FDR. The shooter Giuseppe Zangara was sentenced to death, but there was already a convict awaiting execution, and FL law forbade them from sharing cells. A second cell was built, turning the "death cell" into the first "death row." by AdmiralAkbar1

In the Amazon show and book "The Man in the High Castle", Zangara succeeds in his attempt and kills FDR, leading to the Allies losing World War II
