The controversy surrounding lethal injection drugs and their availability intensified following Oklahoma's botched execution of Clayton Lockett, and now Tennessee lawmakers believe they've come up with a solution: electrocution. On Thursday evening, Republican Governor Bill Haslam signed a bill into law allowing the state to electrocute death-row inmates if lethal injection drugs can't be obtained. Eight states allow inmates to choose the electric chair rather than lethal injection, but the new law makes Tennessee the only state where convicts will not have a choice in the matter. (via)
YOU get an electric chair! and YOU get an electric chair!
