Haslam: Tennessee ready to use electric chair for execution

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam says the state is prepared to execute death row inmate Edmund Zagorski using the electric chair.
Haslam told reporters Thursday he is not reconsidering granting Zagorski clemency despite issuing a 10-day reprieve last week that delayed the inmate’s execution. Among the reasons Haslam handed down a reprieve was Zagorski’s request to die in the electric chair as a quicker and less painful execution method than lethal injection.
