In 1992 – Mass murderer Jeffrey Dahmer is sentenced to 15 life terms by a judge in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Dahmer had pled guilty by insanity earlier, and a trial had determined that he had been sane at the time of the murders. Dahmer was later extradited to Ohio where he pled guilty to another murder, and was beaten to death in a Wisconsin prison in November 1994.
In 1936 – Great Britain wins the ice hockey gold medal at the Garmisch-Partenkirchen Winter Games in a 0-0 tie with the United States in the final game of the final round of pool play. Canada took the silver medal, and the US earned the bronze medal. It remains the only ice hockey gold medal for the British, who last participated in Olympic hockey in 1948. It was the first of four silver medals for Canada and remains the only bronze medal finish for the Americans.
In 1986 – Sade is at #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart for the first of two consecutive weeks with Promise. The album also went to #1 in five other countries, including Finland and Great Britain, peaked at #4 on Billboard’s Jazz Albums chart, was in its third of eleven weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Soul Albums chart, and was the magazine’s 8th-biggest album of the year. It was the first of two #1 albums for the group and produced two chart singles, including the Top 10 hit The Sweetest Taboo.
