They are definitely picking up the pace here.

Louisiana effectively has no death penalty anymore. You can get sentenced to death but you'll just die of old age in Angola. I honestly think that death might be easier though.

What constitutionally mandated job? He's not talking about appointed lawyers or defense lawyers. He's referring to the Capital defense bunch. They are activists who exaggerate and flat out lie in many instances.

When they point fingers at innocent people in attempts to raise suspicions that their client is innocent. When they know damn good and well they are guilty.

When they try to use the killer's health issues that have popped up after 25 years on death row, as an excuse for clemency. They tried that with Lee Hall because he went blind.

When they try to put the murder victim on trial.

I had no idea the electric chair was still in use anywhere in the US. Good for Tennessee for sticking with a good method of execution.



Convicted person gets to pick drugs or electrocution if they were convicted before 2000 in TN. Newer gets lethal injection. So he chose electrocution.

They should have dumped gas on him every day and not tell him when the match is coming. Just strike random matches around him day after day until finally finishing him.

Prayer Vigils will be held throughout the state Thursday by the organization Tennesseans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty in opposition to Hall's execution.


I get and understand opposition to the death penalty but the man that was executed tonight does not deserve their kind thoughts and prayers.

He carried out a monstrous crime in life and he just got a true and final verdict from from God himself a few hours ago on where he's going to be for all eternity.

As the Supreme Court said, the 8th amendment says nothing about a painless death. Or something to that matter.


He chose the chair over the needle.

Tennessee did not force it on him.

She was not in agony for 36hrs. The minute she got to the ER she would have been sedated and put on the ventilator.

And 3rd degree burns kill nerve endings so the pain is gone.

I am sure that she was in agony while she was on fire, though. Regardless, they should have burned him to death like he did her.
