Killer seeks lethal injection and organ donation plan
Condemned killer Joseph Savino has urged Gov. Wilder to allow a public execution by lethal injection so he may donate his organs. He asks that Dr. Jack Kevorkian, noted for assisting a suicide, perform the organ removal, arguing the Anatomical Gift Act supports organ donation but electrocution would spoil the organs. Savino is to be executed June 29 for the 1988 murder of Thomas McWaters. he waived appeal after a state Supreme Court ruling.
