Today's Searches: Legal and illegal deaths

Amante Rongetti was the first person ever sentenced to die in the Illinois electric chair -- and his crime was the death of an illegal abortion patient, Loretta Enders. He was also the first physician ever sentenced to die for the death of a patient. His lawyer was able to convince the courts to spare Rongetti's life -- to free him, in fact. This allowed him to perform a fatal abortion on Elizabeth Palumbo the very next year. Nice work, guys.

Alberto Hodari, (pictured) the abortionist who killed Tamia Russel and Chivon Williams remains a popular search.
