re: Tennessee death row inmate is set to die in the electric chair. He didn't want the lethal

I'll bet good money that some time during the electrical part he'll wish he had a do-over

That’s utter crap

I saw an interview with the guy in charge of executions as Parchman Prison in MS. He said he had witnessed execution by the gas chamber, elec chair, and lethal injection. He said when done correctly the elec chair was the quickest and most humane execution. Said the gas chamber was brutal.

I don't understand why they use the drugs they use if they cause so much of an issue. Just load these guys up with Fentanyl

They don’t hurt or burn, that’s all legal bullshite, the sedative and the muscle relaxant are used in hospitals thousands of times per day

I’ve served on a jury that sentenced the defendant to death. I listened to the 911 call where a victim begged and pleaded for her life, then heard the gunshot, and heard her take her last gasp of breath before she died.

I really don’t give a shite if the method of execution is “humane” or torturous.

There’s no doubt of guilt, and this piece of shite is still sitting on death row. I believe all appeals have played out and hopefully it will finally happen, after over 20 years.

That is one ingenious means to getting a stay of execution. No way he can be deemed sane with a request like that!

argued the lethal injection would make him spend the last 10 to 18 minutes of his life in "utter terror and agony" while the electric chair would only cause him "excruciating pain for (likely) 15-30 seconds," court documents show.

frick that, should go against his will just because...or maybe back off a few volts/amps and drag that out a little longer...

When you choose to shorten two lives to zero days left, against their will, you lose any sympathy from me.

Cool. I just rewatched The Green Mile the other day.

Don't wet the sponge.

Looks like they had to get a refurbished chair and they think it may not work correctly.

A Massachusetts man, who refurbished Tennessee’s electric chair in 1988, is worried it could malfunction.
“I hope it works but I have some serious doubts,” self-taught engineer Fred Leuchter told NBC News on Thursday.
