Czolgosz last words consisted of, him saying he killed the president for the working class and he was not sorry for doing it. He had read that the King of Italy was killed for the same reason and wanted to do the same in America hoping to accomplish the same things there. His hatred towards McKinley for being an enemy of the American working class is ironic since McKinley supported a tariff on foreign goods in order to support industry at home of the working class.

Being sent to Death Row is the highest prosecution a criminal could be sentenced to and the process when determining of someone deserves a death sentence is a very bias decision. Since 1977 when capital punishment was restored there has been about 20,600 homicides and only about .7 death sentences for every 100 homicides has been given in the Cook county.
