Executed
Lindsey Heard
Lindsey Heard was 20 years old when the State of Georgia executed him in the electric chair at Georgia State Prison in Reidsville, Tattnall County, on May 25, 1954. The Georgia Department of Corrections, which keeps the state's execution history, records his death as an execution by electric chair. The record contains no account of his family, his work, or what people who knew him remembered. It also contains no objections to his execution, so the state's account is the only one given here.
Cause of death, as reported: Executed by the state
