Question

state that are still useing the chair for the death penalty

Answer 1

I don't think there is anything wrong with that question. The Electric chair isn't used so much now but there are still 3 states who use it as thier main form of execution they are Georgia, Alabama, and Nebraska. Arkansas, Kentucky, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennesse, Virginia, and Florida have the options to use it.

state that are still useing the chair for the death penalty

Answer 3

It is currently an optional form of execution in the U.S. states of Alabama, South Carolina and Virginia, and the sole method of execution in Nebraska (the former three states allow the prisoner to choose lethal injection as an alternative method). In the states of Kentucky and Tennessee, the electric chair has been retired except for those whose capital crimes were committed prior to legislated dates in 1998. [Kentucky 31 March 1998, Tennessee 31 December 1998]. In both Kentucky and Tennessee, the method of execution authorized for crimes committed after these dates is lethal injection. The electric chair is an alternate form of execution approved for potential use in Illinois and Oklahoma if other forms of execution are found unconstitutional in the state at the time of execution. In Florida, the condemned may choose death by electrocution, but the default is lethal injection.

Answer 4

There are 34 states that have capital punishment, most require or offer lethal injection. I believe there are still 4 states who still use the SPARKY CHAIR. I used to believe that the person who committed the crime (murder with all its attachments) should suffer the same FATE as their victims. I don't believe this now.

Answer 5

Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia...This is all of them the other states either use another form of punishment such as lethal injection or don't have a state law on the death pentalty.

Answer 6

Well, this is what I found I hope it helps.....
Besides Florida, three other states -- Alabama, Georgia and Nebraska -- require execution by electrocution exclusively. Of the 34 other states that have capital punishment, most require or offer lethal injection.

I'm fairly sure that Texas and Florida still have it .. as to other states .. I really don't know. Good Luck ! :)

Answer 9

I believe "old sparky" has been retired from all 50 states. Good step in the right direction. I think all state sanctioned murder is wrong. Better to impose life sentences that can mean up to the natural life of an offender. Gives them a chance to redeem themselves spiritually, prove their case if we were mistaken, or live with the consequences of what they did if they were guilty and have no remorse.
BTW: People will argue that we (society) should not have to bear the cost of imprisonment of these individuals. I beg to differ. Society, our deprivations and economics, and politics, produce sociopaths. We need to pay the cost for our contribution to the existance of these types of people. If their heinous acts were a part of genetic pathology, then it is really wrong to kill them.

*Edit* Oh my! I never read the responses before I answer. We still have the electric chair in all those states? Wow. SHOCKING! *pun intended.* Terrible and disgusting. Cruel and inhumane punishment.

Florida for one
