What is the most misunderstood picture that has become famous (or infamous)?

I love this picture of Allen Lee Davis, executed in Florida’s electric chair for murder

Death penalty opponents might jump to cite the horrors of death penalty by using this picture, but what many would overlook is that Allen Lee Davis killed a pregnant woman, her 2 young daughters and unborn child, which is why he was given the death penalty. The blood on his body resulted from a nose bleed he suffered just prior to the current being switched on, not as a result of the execution itself.

I think he deserved what he got. In the 17 years from the murders to his death, Davis showed no guilt, nor expressed remorse for his actions. He deserved to be hanged, drawn and quartered for what he did.
