Electric Chair Returns

Death row prisoners may be forced into electric chair if Virginia bill passes.


Now Virginia has proposed a bill that would mean inmates will be sent to the electric chair if sufficient amounts of lethal injection drugs can't be found. While Virginia hasn't questioned the legality of the electric chair since 1921, courts in other states, such as Georgia and Nebraska, have classed it as cruel and unusual punishment.

The proposed bill would make Virginia the only state in the US in which a death row prisoner could be forced into death by electrocution.
It has already passed the state's House of Delegates, and according to The Washington Post, is likely to go up for state lawmakers to vote on this week. Currently, Virginian inmates sentenced to execution are able to choose between lethal injection and electrocution. If no choice is made, the lethal cocktail will be administered.
If the new law passes, officials will be able to force inmates to be executed by electric chair if lethal injection drugs aren't available, or the prisoner declines to choose.

That'd be my choice if I was condemned.

Now we see the reason Obozo wants electricity costs to skyrocket!

Self preservation? Nawwwwww........murdering a nation isn't prosecutable.

But it's a tantalizing thought.......

Thank you for spoiling my breakfast bacon. I had not previously thought of it from a swine's perspective.

I told you.

Go for the sausage patties

Hanging is actually the fastest and most humane method of execution.

If I had to pick I'd choose guillotine

It makes sense.
