Joseph 'Joe' Arridy (April 29, 1915 - January 6, 1939) was wrongfully convicted and executed for the murder of Dorthy Drain, at the time 15 years old, in Pueblo, Colorado, his natal city. He was mentally disabled, and the police manipulated him to make a false confession. He was only 23 years old at the time. due to his mental disabilities, he didn't understand the concept of death or being executed, which had to be explained to him several times in different ways. He was executed by gas chamber. Joe only received a full and unconditional posthumous pardon by Colorado Governor Bill Ritter 72 years after his death.
