No, Rodney Cox was tried and convicted in an ad hoc trial for releasing sensitiveinformation regarding the American naval forces capability to secure American shores. He was sentance to death by firing squad. As President he elected to serve as the sole member of the firing squad and executed him on the White House Lawn. The killing was an execution for treason. It was not a murder.
