As a man who has had
A close friend senselessly murdered
I firmly believe that,
With the given facts,
this man lived too long

Why would the “de-facto moratorium” have affected S. Carolina if they are using the chair to execute people? That case was all about the chemicals in lethal injections.

Well, if they wanted to execute him, then it’s a good thing he was in an electric chair.

Got what he deserved. Too bad it took 14 years.

It’s good to see that some states still use the electric chair. Most states, if they have capital punishment at all, opt for that sissy lethal injection.

SC has lethal injection but allows the convict to choose either one.

"South Carolina Executes Man in Electric Chair"

Did Rueters think unless they said how he was executed we might believe they threw him into an electric fence to execute him?

12, not 14 years, but still too long.

The lifers at Maryland State Penitentiary used to refer to the use of the electric chair as "riding the lightenin' express." I worked with many of the lifers who were officers and members of the Jaycee Chapter in the prison. They freely stated that the worst of the worst in the penitentiary richly deserved to ride the lightenin' express.

He chose Ol' Sparky?

I'm guessing he flunked HS physics.
