Is this how the US death penalty works? I can choose my way to go out?
So, asking for a friend here, one could opt for suffocation by a maiden’s thighs?
On another note, is there any crime in the US that results in the death penalty and doesn’t require, yknow, murdering someone?
Oh well. I guess I could just wait till I turn 80, do a Luigi, off a bunch of CEOs, then die while eating pussy. Last meal and execution method all in one, plus it would be beneficial for the world. Win win?
No. Additionally, Tennessee does not have firing squad as a listed method of execution.
(b) Any person who commits an offense prior to January 1, 1999, for which the person is sentenced to the punishment of death may elect to be executed by electrocution by signing a written waiver waiving the right to be executed by lethal injection.
That’s her only option, outside of the savings clause in (d) which permits any other method if all other methods listed are unconstitutional.
Also for your other question, yes. Things like espionage, high treason, aid and comfort to the enemy, large scale drug trafficking, etc… But usually if it isn’t because you murder someone, it has to be that you’ve done something really bad. Like if you gave tactical blueprints of thermonuclear devices employed by the United States to North Korea and the blueprints for the vehicle to deliver those devices, yeah, that’s getting up there.
Even then, execution for treason is really only a wartime thing.
