Execution set for inmate who chose electric chair over injection
Tennessee is scheduled to execute a convicted murder on Thursday who said he would prefer to be put to death using the electric chair rather than undergo the "torture" of lethal injection. Edmund Zagorski, 63, requested electrocution Oct. 8 after the Tennessee Supreme Court upheld the state's use of a controversial lethal injection cocktail – three drugs medical experts said would lead to an extremely painful death. Zagorski said he preferred 35 seconds of two 1,750-volt shocks over a lethal injection that could take up to 18 minutes to kill him. The electric chair hasn't been used in Tennessee in 11 years, and the maker of the state's chair says he's worried it may not work properly.
