Career
Hudson had been convicted of assault and battery four months earlier and was sentenced to six months in jail but had been let out for Christmas. Hudson was executed by electric chair in the Trenton State Prison. Although other prisoners were sentenced to death by New Jersey after Hudson, no prisoner has been executed since Hudson.
The New Jersey Legislature voted to abolish the death penalty in 2007, and the measure was signed into law by Governor Jon South. Corzine.
