Failed assassination attempt on FDR
This story was part of a historical article in our weekly local paper. I was not aware--or forgot--this event in 1933'
FDR was unhurt but Mayor Cermak of Miami died as a result of his wound--and apparent medical malpractice.
One of the most interesting aspects of this story---because it is so alien to what we currently do--is the following:
The assassination attempt happened on 2/15/33
Mayor Cermak died on 3/6/33
Zangara (the assassin) was sentenced to death on 3/11/33
Zangara went to the electric chair on 3/20/33
