I was living in Florida when Bundy was executed. One of the radio talk shows was discussing recipes in the context of Bundy being “fried”. “ Cajun Bundy Gumbo” is one I recall.

So how do you remember that? LOL

If Tennessee electrocutes Zagorski, it will be in an electric chair built by a self-taught execution expert who is no longer welcome in the prison system. (AP Photo/Mark Humphrey, File) (AP)

It is a chair.

Is there someplace that offers a course?

”He became part of the resistance, like Hillary should too.”

Great double enrendre!

”He became part of the resistance, like Hillary should too.”

Great double entendre!

[Chode]

the perforated seat and tray under it for when their bladder lets go is a well thought out feature

At least he did it like a man.

Convicted 1983, executed 2018.....worthless.
He’s had a long life, no one remembers the crime.
Almost 2 generations removed from the crime. Zero deterrent.

“He did not move once the procedure was over.”

Isn’t that the whole point?

59 MORE TO GO. ALL IN VARIOUS STAGES OF APPEAL FROM STATE TO FEDERAL. NEXT 2 ARE 30+ YR RESIDENTS OF DEATH ROW.

David Keen should be the next, he left DNA proof in the Body of 8 yr old Ashley Nichole Read “Nikki” when he raped her, then strangled her with her own shoelaces, tied her body still alive in an old blanket, threw her off a boat dock to DROWN, then 3 days later led police to site and confessed, 2 juries found him guilty based on DNA worthy of the DP. No Appeals should have been necessary with DNA.

Something in Tennessee finally used more electricity than Al Gore’s home.

Texas has 224 death row inmates. They’re average length of stay is 16 years. Many have been on death row for 30 to over 40 years. Did they give their victims an extra 40 years to live?

Sounds like you know what it feels like? Have You ever been hit by a freight train? I can tell you I’d prefer the electric chair to two 7.62mm rounds as I know what they felt like. Imagine feeling like someone is continuously hitting your upper thigh hip area with a 16 lb. sledge hammer and you get no relief for 20-30 minutes when a medic finally gives you a morphine shot.

I really don’t know much about this. Why does it take 15-30 years for those sentenced to death to face it?

[bert]

Why?
