CNN.com – Fire extinguisher called for in lethal injections
“Tennessee’s procedure manual for executing prisoners is a jumble of conflicting instructions that mixes new lethal injection instructions with those for the old electric chair, an Associated Press review found.
Before a lethal injection, the 100-page “Manual of Execution” instructs prison officials to begin by shaving the condemned prisoner’s head — as if preparing him for electrocution. They would also need a fire extinguisher nearby, it says.”
How would you like to be the person on record as being responsible for that fiasco?
