His youth was spent in and out of an overburdened juvenile court in New York City, until he was incarcerated for three decades for the murder of two individuals in 1974. Ángel Nieves Díaz, nicknamed the Grim Reaper, was the first Puerto Rican to endure a botched state execution. As humans, do we feel bad, or did he get what he deserved?
