On December 7, 1982, Charles Brooks, Jr. became the first person in the history of the United States to be executed by lethal injection. This method of execution, considered more humane than the electric chair or gas chamber, was adopted by Texas in 1977, following the reinstatement of the death penalty in the United States in 1976. #usa #history #deathpenalty https://activite-paranormale.net/event/read/244/charles-brooks-jr-the-first-person-executed-by-lethal-injection
