Hannah Ocuish

Hannah Ocuish was a 12-year old Pequot Native American girl with an intellectual disability, who was hanged on December 20, 1786, in New London, Connecticut, for the murder of Eunice Bolles, the 6-year-old daughter of a wealthy farmer. She is notable for being the youngest person executed in the United States whose age is verifiable. In the 2020s, Ocuish's guilt, culpability, and the fairness of her trial have come into question.
