James Byrd Jr. in Jasper TX - 1998
That's the most recent, and only, lynching I know of in my lifetime that got any notoriety.
Hmmm, you're right, I'd forgotten about that one. Still... rare. And it already fell under state murder laws. So does lynching call for a more PERMANENT form of capital punishment, like really really REALLY dead?
