It goes on to say, “This suit is filed because the State of Tennessee has coerced Mr. Zagorski — with the threat of extreme chemical torture via a barbaric three-drug lethal injection protocol — to choose to die a painful and gruesome death in the electric chair. Such a death is clearly cruel and unusual, albeit to Mr. Zagorski less cruel than the threatened chemical torture.”
That's a shame. There are other ways...

Have we no firing squads? We have a two million person military, I think we can spare eight of those for a day. I’ll pay for the ammunition, the cigarette and the blindfold.

So is murder. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. A murderer does not get to decide how he is killed.

So let’s do a firing squad. There’s got to be some solution to his alleged legal objection.

This guy was convicted and sentenced in 1984...34 YEARS AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taxpayers of Tennessee have had to PAY to keep this POS in prison for 34 years...
Shoot the SOB tomorrow and end this charade...
In my opinion, anyone convicted of murder and sentenced to death should have 60 days for appeal, then executed...

Hmmmm.......
If he has signed anything about donating his body to science, why wait.
Ship him to the space station, hook up monitors, toss him out the airlock to see what REALLY happens.
Just a thought......

Murderers should be executed by the same method as they killed their victim.

34 YEARS AGO The concept of "due process" has been abused for a long time, and it's long past time that the Supreme Court put an end to it.
I would go for a standard that execution happens within a year of conviction, and any appeals have to be done within that year.

Idiot.
Bring back the guillotine.
To: Libloather
Did his victims get to chose the time and manner of their death? He allowed them to suffer and die; but now demands mercy for himself.
Nothing but a childish coward
