Gavrilo Princip
Princip was one of the six men in charge of assassinating the Archduke, Franz Ferdinand. Although there were six men involved in the assassination, it was Princip who carried out the duty, killing the Archduke and his wife. Since Princip was not 20 years old at the time of the assassination, he could not be sentenced to the death penalty, but only the maximum amount of jail time, 20 years.
