Electroliquidation as a Humane Improvement on the Electric Chair
Journal Title: Peer Reviewed Journal of Forensic & Genetic Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Vaguely referenced in a science fiction novel called Double Bill which was written a few years ago I propose “electro liquidation” as a humane alternative to present methods of capital punishment. Think of electro liquidation as a water locked electric chair. There is no gainsaying that the electric chair in its present form needs improving. The first ever execution by electric chair, 128 years ago, on August 6, 1890 to be precise -was botched. 17 seconds after the chair’s powerful electricity had coursed through the murderer’s body, two doctors declared the victim dead. And then someone yelled, “Great God, he is alive!” The victim was still breathing and his heart was still beating. It took four minutes for the wife killer named Kemmler to die-and many hours for the corpse to cool off. “They could have done a better job with an axe,” critics complained.
