How about beheading ? That’s got to be constitutional.

I think that it would be quite a conflict of interest for a “circuit” court to pass judgment on the use of electricity! :)

They also alleged that electrocution violates the Eighth Amendment banning cruel and unusual punishment.

I never really thought of the death penalty as punishment. It's more like trash removal.

“Since Cone selected a method of execution different from the state’s default method, his objections to his chosen method of execution are waived and we do not reach the merits of his claim,” the three-judge appeals court panel said in a 2-1 decision filed today in Cincinnati.

Ha Ha Ha! Lost his final con-game :)

Of all the methods but gas, “riding the lightening” as they call it - is the most likely to allow him to suffer like he deserves.

The attorney that raised this frivolous claim should be sanctioned.

Perhaps he would prefer to be drawn and quartered?

No execution date has been set for Cone, now 58, who was a Vietnam veteran and prelaw student from Arkansas.

Gee, maybe he was a good guy after all. After seeing this, I've had a change of heart. Maybe Bush should pardon him. /sarc.
