ABOUT DAMN TIME
Thoughts?

The bill signed by Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslamon Thursday allows prison officials to use the state electric chair at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville if there are not enough drugs to perform lethal injection.
Thoughts?

The death penalty should be outlawed completely.

Tennessee law had provided for only lethal injection with the narrow exception of prisoners who chose death by electrocution and whose crimes were committed before 1999. Daryl Holton, a Persian Gulf war veteran who killed his three sons and a stepdaughter in 1997, chose electrocution and was the last executed that way in Tennessee in 2007.

A few months ago the official publication of the Virginia State Bar, "The Virginia Lawyer" had a very interesting article on the electric chair. It set forth the history from the first use (which didn't go too well) through some of the problems with the chair in recent times. Some of the condemned actually caught fire.
It seems to me that this may cause more problems than the needle.
I was always a strong proponent of the death penalty. I'm not so sure anymore.
If I were on death row, I'd opt for the firing squad. It's over pretty quickly.

The death penalty isn't bringing them back - so that wouldn't change my perspective.

This will be tied up in the courts
until the drug shortages gets solved.
And the drug problem will be solved.
I'll be "shocked" if the chair gets used and
think states are better off waiting on the drugs.
