description: "Joseph Arridy was an American man who was falsely convicted and wrongfully executed for the 1936 rape and murder of Dorothy Drain, a 15-year-old girl in Pueblo, Colorado. He was manipulated by the police to make a false confession due to his mental incapacities. Arridy was intellectually disabled and was 23 years old when he was executed on January 6, 1939, after Governor Teller Ammons refused to grant him clemency."
