@gsmonks "Homicide" simply means the death was caused by another person, not that it was illegal. If a guy breaks into your house, tries to kill you and you kill him first, that's homicide, too. The law calls it "justified". In the context of an execution, one might call it "judicial" homicide. Still not 'illegal', though. (Sorry to nitpick. Former English teacher and all that.)

@lnn6785 Each state that used the electric chair was different. Some shaved the entire head, others shaved only a small spot and that could have been wither on the top, back or side above the temple. No two were the same.

@lnn6785 I noticed that also right off. I don't think I've ever heard of a person executed in an electric chair that didn't have their head shaved. There are a few pics posted online of Allen Lee "tiny" Davis just after execution in the chair, he's still sitting in it. There are other pics also, all the ones I've seen depict a burned spot on top of a shaved head.

@SaintLiam78 They were not convicted of treason. They were convicted of espionage under the 1917 act which carried the death penalty instead of the 1948 act which did'nt. Treason according to the Constitution must be an act carried out during times of war with at least 2 witnesses to the same overt act.
Murder is illegal. Execution is murder, by definition. Says "homicide" on every execution death-certificate under "cause of death". The state should therefore execute itself.

@DAngelo136 Sponge-bungling Florida do use Electrocreme, but it didn't stop them setting fire to Jesse Tafero and Pedro Medina. I don't think it's really designed for such high voltages.
