Georgia weighs ending electrocution in favor of lethal injection
Georgia moves toward switching to lethal injection for executions, with a 162 to 10 vote pending Senate approval. If enacted, Georgia would join Florida as the second state this year to abandon the electric chair amid concerns the Supreme Court could rule the chair cruel and unusual. The plan would apply to crimes after May 1, while 127 inmates remain on death row facing electrocution unless court action changes that.
