John A. Bennett, American soldier (d. 1961)

John Arthur Bennett was a U.S. Army soldier who remains the last person to be executed after a court-martial by the United States Armed Forces. The 19-year-old private was convicted of the rape and attempted murder of an 11-year-old girl in Austria. Despite last minute appeals for clemency and pleas to President John F. Kennedy by her family to spare his life, Kennedy refused; Bennett was hanged at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas in 1961.
