I thought Georgia had already done away with the chair and replaced it with lethal injection five or ten years ago.

The use of guillotines for “governmental purposes” was lobbied for and passed in the U.S. Congress- The information we received is that 15,000 are currently stored in Georgia and 15,000 in Montana- Are the beheadings by muslims today meant to desensitize us against U.S. Government beheadings in the future?

FWIW... electrocution as a form of the death penalty came about over a huge battle between Thomas Edison/J.P. Morgan and Nikola Tesla/G. Westinghouse over weather A/C or D/C power was going to be used as the primary source of power in the US...
quote:
Thomas A. Edison is remembered as the inventor of the first practical electric light bulb and the motion picture camera. However, many people don't remember that Edison electrocuted cats, dogs, horses, and an orangutan with alternating current (AC) electricity as part of a campaign to bolster support for his allegedly safer direct current (DC) method of electricity distribution. His "War of Currents" rivalry with George Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla, both AC proponents, ultimately led to the electrocution of a six-ton zoo elephant named Topsy on Jan. 4, 1903.
quote:
Edison sent Professor Harold Brown on a tour to demonstrate the dangers of AC by electrocuting dogs, cats, horses, cows, and even an orangutan on stage. The demonstrations led some people to believe that electrocution was a valid form of execution.
quote:
On Aug. 6, 1890, New York State performed the first execution by electrocution with the assistance of Thomas Edison's engineers. Professor Brown illegally purchased a Westinghouse generator and with two surges of electricity, one of them lasting more than one minute, electrocuted murderer William Kemmler to death. After Kemmler's execution, "Westinghousing" became a slang term for the death penalty administered by electrocution.

deathrow inmates should die exactly the same way the victim(s) died. If multiple people died, the inmate's death should be the same as the most gruesome murder/rape that they committed.

I agree with you.

I think I'd take guillotine. Drugs, electricity, even a bullet, could frick me up and not kill me. With the big blade you're done. Hell, even if you stay awake for a while once your head is cut off you won't have a nervous system and pain to deal with, you'd just have to stare at the dirt for a while until you go Tony Soprano.

I don't think we should execute anyone. I think murderers should be tied to a chair, eyelids held open a la A Clockwork Orange, and forced to watch a constant loop of Transformers 2, Iron Man 3, and Battlefield: Earth for the rest of their lives.
But that's cruel and unusual.

Actually, there's documentation of people continuing to blink following decapitation via guillotine for 10-15 seconds. The brain can apparently be functionally sustained that long from the glucose and oxygen present in the tissue.
Why not just blow their brains out with a gun?
Seems like the most religious states only want to regress.

I'm not for the death penalty anyways because it costs way more to electrocute someone than to keep them in prison for life, plus it is subjective based on the jury and there are factors like race and gender where certain people are executed more or punished more for the same crimes as people who don't get the death penalty.

This happened in 1996, I don't even think Teper is still in office.
Georgia stopped using the electric chair in October of 2001.
