electric chair

The state's electric chair is 109 years old.
The 56-year-old became the third inmate in the state to be executed in the electric chair since November.
Edmund Zagorski said he did "not want to be subjected to the torture" of lethal injection.
The electric chair has already been declared cruel and unusual punishment by two death penalty states.
One lawmaker said the bill may actually speed the death penalty's decline in the long run.
