Gary Gilmore's mother was Mormon, and his brother Mikel was baptized, but I don't Gary ever was.
And I don't believe Butch Cassidy ever killed anyone.

That's 'cause he never tried.
(It was the former governor of Missouri that he tried and failed to assassinate.)
I am no apologist for Rockwell, but I point out that he was arrested for the crime and then released for lack of evidence. Evidently somebody put a bullet through the front room window where Boggs was living and somebody made the argument that Rockwell did it, although the deed was not witnessed.
