If so, some will kill again. One alternative is a bill confirming use of the electric chair and designating injection as the backup method if electrocution is ever banned. The Senate passed that bill during the special session last month, but the House did not act on it. Another is a bill giving current inmates a choice between electrocution and injections - and designating injection for future executions. Lethal injection is not such a bad idea.
Most states now use it.
With either method, the condemned killer dies. Electrocutions are controversial because they appear violent and painful, even though medical experts say they are neither. Injections obviously are a peaceful way to die. Injections are the path of least resistance to carrying out the death penalty. With 380 people on Death Row, Florida might do well to use that path.
