Attorney General Bob Cooper's written legal opinion was issued this week as state lawmakers consider a bill that would allow condemned prisoners to be electrocuted if lethal injection is thwarted by big drug companies or the courts.

I vote for nitrogen asphyxiation. It has happened accidently, and from what I recall it is particularly insidious because the victims have no sensation of discomfort whatsoever. They just pass out, and then die in short order.

I’m all for deathrow inmates having a choice.
They could choose drugs, electric chair, being dropped from a plane, run over by a train, hung by the neck, firing squad, explosion, implosion, drowning, and stoning.

The constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. It does not guarantee a painless execution.
