Nebraska is the last state to have the electric chair as it's sole form of execution. It will be interesting to see if the chair being the sole method will make it through another round of challenges in the courts.
For the good old American lifestyle: For the money, for the glory, and for the fun... mostly for the money.
Geez. They already fired Solich. They need to let it go.
Man the chair is a bad *** form of execution. This lethal injection stuff makes it too easy for the killer. When they get the chair they know they’re going to feel some pain before they go! ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzap!
Even after 200 years, the guillotine is still the undisputed king of quick, painless and efficient state killing.
just saying.

I miss stories on Florida's "ol sparky"
yeah but you can't be lazy like the French and forget to sharpen the blade.

The cool thing is, if you survive three shocks you're free!
Have you ever measured how long a second feels under extreme pain?
"See, we're humane, right? So when you're up there on the platform with the noose around your neck, and they pull the lever, and the trapdoor doesn't open after three times, you know what happens?"
"I go free?"
"Nah, we get Charlie over. He's a dinkum carpenter. Charlie inspects everything and gets it working. We do take you down and give you a spot of lunch while we're waiting, though."
"The choices we discern as having been made in the Constitutional Convention impose burdens on governmental proceses that often seem clumsy, inefficient, even unworkable, but those hard choices were consciously made by men who had lived under a form of government that permitted arbitrary governmental acts to go unchecked."
