Alan Goldsborough handed down a verdict that will seal the fate of Oscar Collazo, a Puerto Rican nationalist convicted of attempting to kill President Harry Truman. The penalty was mandatory, a death sentence in the electric chair, after the jury found Collazo guilty on two counts of first-degree murder.
