"Mad Dog" Taborsky executed in 1960

Sentenced to death after a string of brutal robberies and murders in the 1950s. Six people were killed during a series of armed robberies and murders that became known as the "Mad Dog Killings". A number of others were shot, beaten, or pistol-whipped but survived. Taborsky earned his nickname due to the savagery of the killings. He was executed by electric chair at the age of 36 in 1960. His execution was the last in Connecticut until Michael Ross in 2005.
