Judging by his arms position, It seems like it was not totally painless. But I feel like it was worth it.
Not sure if arm position says anything about pain. Electrocutions make your muscles contract, so it makes sense that his arms cramp together like that
But you feel it for some time. I have read that after the heart has stopped, one would be consciousness for about 10-20 seconds.
People who was shocked in the heart by their pacemaker said it was very painful. Still, this method has something very appealing to me.
In the electric chair, electrodes are connected to the head. The skull most likely has a higher resistance than the rib cage, so a higher voltage is required.
The point of the electric chair and lethal injection is suffering. If they could get away with making you swallow Lego until you died, they would.
What can go wrong with this in your opinion? For me it seems less risky than most (if not all) other popular and accessible methods. It will not hurt your brain untill it hurts your heart enough so it stops pumping blood. I had a conversation with cardiologist recently and he said he never read about a case when the heart spontaneously recovers from the cardiac arrest due to an electrical shock, and that it occurs very rarely in cases when cardiac arrest was not due to an electrical shock.
New information from peacemaker users:
New information. A cardiologist said that "front and back" electrodes position is better and is used in hospital. Standard position (as in the picture above) just is less time consuming to access.
Yes, that's how he did it. Just cleared the wires from the braid (2.5 cm) and twisted them.
Article says there were signs of rapid death.
That's more details from the article: An electrical plug with a two-core flat wire in white vinyl insulation is inserted into one of the surge protector sockets. The wire cores are flexible, multi-wire, copper. Each core has its own insulation in blue and brown colors. The outer insulation of the wire is removed over 30 cm from the free end. The wire strands in the area of the ends are exposed in sections 2.5 cm long; the copper wire fibers that make them up are longitudinally twisted.
Thank you, I'll look into this as a potentional ctb method.
A friend of mine had a husband who was a prison guard. They're pretty terrible human beings and torture inmates all the time. Wouldn't surprise me if those law & order crazies mess with the "electric chair method" to make it longer and more painful. Didn't someone do that in The Green Mile?
