Alabama inmate Lindsey executed in electrical chair

The 28-year-old Mobile man Michael Lindsey was executed at midnight in Alabama’s Yellow Mama chair after seven years of appeals. Reporters watched from a witness room as guards read the death warrant and Lindsey declined to speak. A 36 second jolt ended the life, with the coroner’s wagon later taking the body from the prison cemetery.
