Man Died in Florida Electric Chair During Kidnap Slaying Case
Raipgrd Florida February 24. Prankith Pierce McCall, 22, minister's son, was executed in the electric chair for the kidnapping and slaying of James Halley Cash Jr. He maintained innocence and claimed he was made a martyr. The defendant walked to the chair calmly and was pronounced dead at 10 16 p m. He left a handwritten manuscript decrying capital punishment and questioning the justice system. McCall had confessed in court to abducting the boy, but he insisted he intended to kill no one and claimed the boy died accidentally during the abduction in Princeton, New Jersey. The execution drew fewer witnesses than a previous day’s showing amid ongoing stay attempts.
