Nebraska Supreme Court Outlaws Electric Chair

Subject: Nebraska Supreme Court Outlaws Electric Chair Fri Feb 08, 2008 8:58 pm

The electric chair is cruel and unusual punishment, the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled Friday, effectively suspending executions in the only state that made sole use of the practice, once the dominant form of execution in the United States.

The court, in a 6-to-1 decision, ruled that electrocution, the only method of execution used in the state, violates the state constitution. “The evidence shows that electrocution inflicts intense pain and agonizing suffering,” Justice William Connolly wrote for the majority.

The state’s attorney general, Jon Bruning, said he would “move to the legislative process to get a new method of execution.”

This cocksucker Bruning should be the first to test out the new method...
