Some cool trivia, they still have the hangman’s gallows in the Caddo Parish courthouse. Until the 30s and 40s, executions were carried out at the Courthouse following sentencing and appeal.
 



At one time LA law required a person sentenced to death to be executed in the Parish they were found guilty in. That brought the mobile electric chair when hangings were considered too gruesome.

Time to bring it back. At the mall on a Saturday afternoon, especially during the Christmas season. You could get your kids picture taken with Santa and then watch a local POS get fried. I bet sales volume would increase, although perhaps not at the food court after the cooking demonstration.

I'm not a fan of capital punishment because DAs are often crooked or dumb, witnesses are often unreliable and later proven wrong, judges and juries make mistakes, etc. ...

BUT I've said since I was a kid that if deterrence is a goal of the death penalty, executions should be televised in prime time. Instead, they are usually conducted late at night with few witnesses and no recording. That is pussified and ineffective as a deterrence.
