Tennessee brings back execution by electric chair

Shared from Zite

Lawmakers overwhelmingly passed the electric chair legislation in April, with the Senate voting 23 to 3 and the House 68 to 13 in favor of the bill.

"It gives us another option out there," said the bill's House sponsor, Rep. Dennis Powers, a Republican. "We've had so many problems with lethal injection."
