- Ruby_McCollum abstract "Ruby McCollum, born Ruby Jackson (August 31, 1909 – May 23, 1992), was a wealthy married African-American woman in Florida known for killing a prominent white doctor in 1952 who had been elected to the state senate; she said that he had forced her to have sex and bear his child.McCollum was tried and convicted in Florida that year for the murder of Dr. C. Leroy Adams, and sentenced to death. The sensational case was covered widely in the United States press, as well as by international papers, but McCollum and the attorneys were covered by a gag order. Her case was appealed and overturned by the State Supreme Court. When it came time for a second trial, McCollum was examined and found mentally incompetent to stand trial, and ultimately ruled not guilty by reason of insanity. She was incarcerated for 20 years in the state mental hospital. In 1974 her attorney Frank Cannon obtained her release under the Baker Act, as she was not considered a danger to herself or others.In the 21st century, McCollum and her case have received renewed attention, with new books and two film documentaries exploring the issues of race, class, gender and corruption in local politics. In the long term, McCollum's case was considered important in the struggle for civil rights and instrumental in changing attitudes about the practice of "paramour rights."".
