    Rainey Bethea (October 16, 1909[1] – August 14, 1936) was the last person to be publicly executed in the United States. Bethea confessed to the rape and murder of a 70-year-old white woman named Lischia Edwards, and after being convicted of her rape, he was publicly hanged in Owensboro, Kentucky. Mistakes in executing the hanging and the surrounding media circus contributed to the end of public executions in the United States.

    public executions on pay tv in the movies: Death Race 2000 (1975), Death Race (2008) other examples: Rollerball 1975, running man 1987, Supreme Court US 2009:

    43. Justices talk dog-fighting videos, 'Human Sacrifice Channel’ A Supreme Court argument about 1st Amendment rights and animal cruelty conjures the specter of programs about people being killed. Los Angeles Times | October 6, 2009 | 10:22 a.m. Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. garnered the attention of his colleagues with a series of questions on whether videos portraying humans being killed would be protected as free speech. Alito said there may well be a "pay-per-view" market for programs made outside the United States, so there would be no criminal jurisdiction here, that showed real people being killed. He called it the "Human Sacrifice Channel" and wondered aloud whether Congress could outlaw the showing of such programs in this country.”
