Caryl Chessman had been condemned to death in 1948,for being the “Red Light Bandit.”He remained on death row,but his execution was extended until 1960,as he won several appeals. During that time he wrote several best-selling books. There was wide public opposition to his execution,supported by many notable figures. Finally he was executed in the gas chamber of San Quinten.
