Tennessee Set to Execute Double Murderer By Electrocution

According to Reuters, Tennessee plans to execute 63-year-old Edmund Zagorski by electrocution on Thursday night after the condemned man requested not to be put to death by lethal injection. Zagorski, who killed two men in 1983 who were carrying a large amount of cash in order to buy 100 pounds of marijuana, would be the first U.S. inmate executed by electrocution since 2013. His attorneys have filed for a stay to the execution with the U.S. Supreme Court.
